Apple goes head-to-head with Maryland over digital advertising tax

Lawyers for one of the world’s preeminent technology giants went head-to-head Friday with Maryland state government lawyers in Baltimore as a new phase of legal challenges began against the state’s first-in-the-nation digital advertising tax. Apple became the first of several tech companies in recent months to challenge the constitutionality of the fee in Maryland Tax Court after a year in which the tax was struck down and then revived in state appellate court.
