Maryland taxpayers paid higher rates on cell phone taxes than 38 states did in 2012.
Combined state and local taxes on cell phones of 12.77%
made Maryland the 12th highest in the nation, according to a study by
the DC-based Tax Foundation. With federal taxes added into the mix, that rate rises to 18.59% for Marylanders.
“This is just one more example of why Maryland is known as a
“high tax” state,” wrote Randolph May, president of the Free-State
Foundation, in a July blog post.
All American cell phone owners have to pay the federal rate of 5.82%.
