The News-Journal: Md. sales tax could make Del. a refuge

The News-Journal, a major daily paper in Wilmington, Delaware, examined the impact of Maryland's tech tax in a story in Sunday's edition entitled, "Md. sales tax could make Del. a refuge." The story begins:

"Maryland can be a nice place to live. But for some businesses, Delaware's looking better all the time.

"Lawmakers' efforts to impose a new sales tax on the computer services industry may have permanently tarnished Maryland's reputation among some small-business owners there, raising the possibility that they will simply pack up and relocate across the border."

mark jones's Gravatar Those rookies at vanatge point solutions are idiots. If they service clients in MD and move to DE they still have to collect the tax. If they move to DE good luck with bandwidth. It does not get good until Wilmington.

Emmet's Gravatar Do some research before you look like an idiot calling others idiots. I work for an IT company right on the Maryland/Delaware border. We have roughly 1000 customers in Maryland but overall they are just a fraction of our customer base. We've already scouted locations 6 miles away in Delaware and will make the move in October should the law go through. If we don't move we'd have to lower our rates to stay competitive with the national average.
