*MARYLAND - Tax Reform Act of 2007*
The State of Maryland recently enacted legislation to expand Maryland’s 6 percent sales tax to *Computer Services*. The new law takes effect in FY09, which begins July 1, 2008. This expansion applies to a list of services, including:
* Computer facilities management and operation
* Custom programming.
* Computer system planning and design that integrate computer hardware, software, and communication. technologies.
* Computer disaster recovery.
* Data processing, storage and recovery.
* Hardware or software installation, maintenance, and repair.
To view enacted language, BDPA-DC has uploaded the bill's summary and enacted language in the chapter's Member Welcome Centre, *Files & Media* zone.
What impact on Maryland companies consuming computer services will this new law have? From hardware and software installation and management to web design, if your organization purchases computer services, your organization likely will be subject to the new 6 percent sales tax effective July 1, 2008.
