Maryland Revises Law on Collection, Remittance Hotel Rental Tax by Intermediaries

The Maryland Governor signed a law establishing a centralized method of collecting local hotel rental tax from accommodations intermediaries by requiring the intermediaries to remit the tax to the Comptroller’s Office, rather than to each county. This requirement applies to accommodations intermediaries with at least: 1) 200 or more booking transactions or sales; or 2) $100,000 in booking transactions or sales. The law takes effect July 1, 2027. [S.B. 979, enacted 05/20/25]
