Sales and Use Tax - Distribution - City of Baltimore

Summary

The bill changes Maryland’s sales‑and‑use tax distribution by requiring the state comptroller to send 33% of the tax collected from retail sales in Baltimore to the city. The remaining tax proceeds continue to be allocated to a Dorchester County development fund, the Blueprint for Maryland’s Future education fund, and the state General Fund. This shift directs more state tax money straight to Baltimore’s local budget.
