In February 2021, Maryland became the first state to enact a tax on digital advertisements which became effective in January 2022. And, many states are closely watching–and waiting–to see how Maryland’s experience with the tax goes before enacting a similar tax in their own state. Currently, the tax is facing lawsuits from Comcast and Verizon as well as a group of trade associations arguing that the tax, as enacted, is illegal.
