What is the Maryland sales tax rate?↓
Maryland has a flat 6% state sales tax that applies to all taxable goods and services statewide. Maryland does not permit cities or counties to add local sales taxes, so the rate is 6% whether you shop in Baltimore, Annapolis, Frederick, or any other Maryland location. Alcoholic beverages are taxed at a higher 9% rate.
What is exempt from Maryland sales tax?↓
Maryland exempts most unprepared food (groceries), prescription and many over-the-counter drugs, residential utilities, newspapers, and most medical equipment. Prepared food and restaurant meals are fully taxable at 6%. Clothing has no general exemption in Maryland, unlike Pennsylvania or Massachusetts.
How is alcohol taxed in Maryland?↓
Alcoholic beverages in Maryland are taxed at 9% rather than the standard 6% sales tax rate. This higher rate applies to beer, wine, and spirits sold at liquor stores, restaurants, and bars. On a $40 bottle of wine, sales tax would be $3.60 at the 9% rate, compared to $2.40 at the standard 6% rate.
