What was TCM’s Position on the 6% Computer Services Sales Tax?
The Tech Council of Maryland (TCM) strongly opposed the six percent sales tax on computer services that passed during the 2007 special session of the Maryland General Assembly and made a full repeal of this tax its top policy priority for the 2008 session. TCM is pleased to report that our fight was successful. On April 8, Governor Martin O’Malley signed SB 46, which fully repeals the tech tax. The tax, which was to go into effect on July 1, 2008, is nowt off the books for good.
