Is Maryland Going to Tax My Haircut and Cable TV?

by Jay Hancock

From the Department of Legislative Services' briefing on services that are not subject to the 6 percent Maryland sales tax. The Senate Budget & Taxation Committee said the briefing was part of a hearing that was "educational" and not a road map to future taxes. Hmm. How do you like totally hypothetical taxes on this totally for-informational-purposes-only list of services?

Entertainment Services: Health and fitness centers; golf courses

Financial Services: Financial holding companies; corporate managing offices

Information Services: Cable television; satellite television

  1. They already tax cable TV that's why prices are different around the country.
