The new tax would levy up to a 10% surcharge on digital ads even though Maryland does not tax print advertising. Earlier this week, the Maryland General Assembly passed an emergency bill that would push back the implementation date by a year to 2022. Those who pushed for the delay said the new law, which also taxes digital products and digital code, needed clarification. The new tax would also apply to streaming and downloaded digital products. According to MultiState Associates, 30 other jurisdictions already tax digital products delivered electronically.
