Maryland Prepare for State Sales Tax Implementation
Maryland moves toward a 3 percent sales tax as part of the next biennium's fiscal plan. Officials estimated annual revenue near 18.4 million, but lawmakers raised concerns over dealer deductions and farm exemptions, arguing the net could drop to about 16.305 million. Debate split along party lines with opposition citing cross border shopping and regional impact on Prince George's and Montgomery counties. The bill passed the House and Senate amid charges of executive threats and political favors. The comptroller plans a license rollout by July 1 with 50 000 businesses needing registration, while referendum legality remains contested.
