Md., like Va., taxes office supplies

Following on The Washington Examiner‘s tax comparisons in Virginia and Maryland, a reader points out something worth noting: Maryland’s local governments, like Virginia’s, levy a personal property tax on business equipment.

The tax, which in Maryland ranges from $1.75 per $100 of assessed value to $5.67 per $100 of assessed value, applies to business property — which includes office furniture and supplies.
