Last week we mentioned the provision in the Governor’s Budget Reconciliation and Financing Act (BRFA) (SB 152/HB 87) that would impose the state sales & use tax on the sale of “digital products.”
The Maryland Chamber’s Legislative Committee met with the Governor’s Chief Legislative Officer Joe Bryce to discuss the administration’s agenda earlier this week. During that meeting, Bryce agreed that the language in the bill needs to be clarified. He said that more work would be done to tighten the language, but that it is the Administration’s intent to tax the purchase of canned software and other products that could be bought in a store in a tangible form.
We’ve heard concerns from a number of companies, but we’d like more feedback from members. You can review the language on pages 33 to 42 of the bill. How would this impact your business? Give us your feedback by emailing Ron Wineholt at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).
