Maryland Chamber Launches the Fair Opportunity Maryland Champaign
Maryland families and small businesses are the foundation of our vibrant communities, driving innovation, creating jobs and providing opportunities for all. But harmful tax policies on the horizon threaten to undermine their success.
As part of the Maryland Chamber of Commerce’s Fair Opportunity Maryland campaign, we are standing up against these policies to ensure a brighter future for everyone in our state — and we need your voice to make an impact.
What’s at Stake?
- Sales Tax on Services: Proposals to expand the sales tax to essential services like car repairs, legal fees and home maintenance would drive up everyday costs for Maryland families and businesses.
- Combined Reporting Requirements: Complex and volatile tax policies would create red tape and financial strain, making it harder for businesses to grow.
- Pass-Through Entity Taxation: Higher taxes on small businesses could force tough decisions — like cutting jobs or raising prices — hurting local.
Why Act Now?
As Maryland’s 90-day legislative session gets underway, we know these harmful policies will surface during the upcoming legislative session. By speaking out early, we can send a clear message to lawmakers: Maryland’s families and small businesses need support, not additional burdens.
