Political ploy nearly passes tax loophole in Maryland
In Annapolis the 1976 General Assembly moves quickly on SB283 to exempt political fund-raisers from the amusement tax. Senate Majority Leader Roy Staten faces questions from Sen. Edward Mason and Sen. Julian Lapides as a quick mini hearing clarifies the bill’s intent. The measure would forego amusement tax on live political events, a change that could cost the state about $1 million over three years and affect counties that rely on tax distributions.
