Save Maryland IT Day February 27, 2008

Join us in Annapolis on February 27 for Save Maryland IT Day, a media event and lobbying day to advocate the repeal of the computer services sales tax.

The Tech Council of Maryland has formed a coalition called Fight the Tech Tax with the Maryland Chamber of Commerce and dozens of other business groups to lobby for the repeal.

This tax will stifle economic development and job creation in Maryland. Whether your company is a user or provider of IT services, this tax will have a negative impact on your competitiveness. Unless repealed, the 6 percent computer services sales tax will take effect on July 1. We need you in Annapolis on February 27 to tell your story to the media and to lawmakers.

The event will begin at 10:30 a.m. at the Maryland Inn on Church Circle in Annapolis. We will hold a media briefing featuring a number of CEOs at 11 a.m. We'll also hear from some legislators who support the repeal of the tech tax at 11:30 a.m. Following the briefing, we will walk over to the House and Senate office buildings to urge lawmakers to repeal the tax.
