What if I pay sales tax to another state?

Maryland grants a credit for sales tax paid to another state up to the amount of Maryland's 6 percent sales and use tax liability.

For example, if you paid a 4 percent sales tax to another state, you would be liable only for the difference, or 2 percent Maryland sales and use tax when you brought the property into Maryland. If you paid a 6 or higher percent sales tax to another state, you would not be liable for Maryland sales and use tax when you brought the property into Maryland.
