ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — Maryland raised roughly $6 million in added revenue in July from a 50 percent increase in the state’s sales tax on alcohol, a state official said Monday.
If the revenue raised in July turns out to be the monthly average, it would add up to about $72 million in extra state revenue a year. Initial estimates projected the tax would raise roughly $85 million a year.
But David Roose, director of the Maryland Bureau of Revenue Estimates, said it’s too hard to tell from the first month of a new tax how much will be raised on an annual basis.
I'll continue to go to Brownies in Delmar.
