mcwop writes "Maryland passed legislation to apply a new six percent sales tax (more) to "custom computer programming" and other computer and hardware related services. As a purchaser of these services, it will be interesting to see what the impact is. In-house IT and buying out of state may have become attractive options, as well as the extra money cutting into other projects."

  • How many programming houses are there in Maryland? I imagine that most would be in the Beltway area, and it's simple enough to head south to Virginia for those businesses. The move could very well backfire, particularly given the ease with which programming is done remotely. I'd also wonder about the enforceablity of the law.
