ANA Slams Md. Digital Ad Tax Rules

The Association of National Advertisers condemned Maryland comptroller rules taking effect Monday to implement a digital ad state tax. The comptroller adopted the regulations Nov. 24. “This tax is unconstitutional, costly, and burdensome to the Maryland business community,” said ANA Senior Vice President-Government Relations Chris Oswald Tuesday. “Businesses deserve better than the vague definitions and the challenges that these regulations will create.” The tax is under litigation (see 2111220017).
