Md. Senate Clears Digital Ad Tax Law Exemption

A bill modifying Maryland’s digital ad tax law cleared the Senate unanimously Friday. Senators amended SB-787 earlier last week to delay the tax by one year so it would apply to tax years beginning after Dec. 31. The bill still would exempt news media and ban tech companies from passing costs from the tax to small businesses. The House’s cross-filed HB-1200 awaits vote by the Ways and Means Committee (see 2102260048).
