| The Tech Tax – Effecting Every Maryland Business and Resident The effects of this proposed tax extend far beyond harming one of Maryland’s fastest growing sectors. In today’s interconnected economy, tech services are a fundamental component for businesses across all sectors. Small businesses crushed: Every local shop that uses software, websites, IT support, or cloud services will face higher costs Jobs at risk: Employers facing sudden tax increases may freeze hiring or cut positions to manage new expenses Defense sector threatened: Critical defense contractors will struggle with increased costs, jeopardizing their competitiveness for federal contracts Main Street suffering: Family-owned businesses with thin margins will be hit hardest as essential tech services become more expensive Competitive disadvantage: While Virginia and other neighboring states attract businesses with incentives, Maryland risks pushing companies across its borders These higher costs won’t stay with businesses — they’ll be passed down to consumers. In a world where technology touches everything, from your work and child’s education to your healthcare, this tax could make essential digital services unaffordable for many Maryland families, widening the digital divide. |
