Registering for a sales tax permit in Maryland in 2024 is generally free of charge. Businesses can apply for a sales and use tax license through the Maryland Business Express portal without incurring any fees. The registration process involves completing the Combined Registration Application online, providing necessary business details such as the EIN, business name, address, and description of goods or services sold. While there are typically no costs associated with registration, businesses should verify this with the Maryland Comptroller’s office or official state resources, as fee structures can change. To apply, visit the Maryland Business Express website, complete the online application, and submit the required information. Once approved, businesses will receive their sales tax license, enabling them to legally collect and remit sales tax in Maryland.
