Taxes

The Maryland Alcohol Beverages Tax is imposed on each gallon at the following rates:

Distilled Spirits * $ 1.50 Wine $ 0.40 Beer ** & Hard Cider $ 0.09

(* If distilled spirits contains a percentage of alcohol greater than 100 proof, or 50% alcohol, an additional tax for each 1 proof over 100 proof is 1.5 cents for each gallon. ** Flavored Malt Beverages (FMBs) are taxed at the same rate as beer)

In addition to the $ 2.00 tax on a 20-cigarette pack, there is an additional $ .10 cent tax for each cigarette in a package of more than 20 cigarettes, and a $ 0.10 cent tax for each cigarette in a package of free sample cigarettes. If the cigarette pack has 10 or fewer cigarettes, the tax is $ 1.00 for each pack.

The tax rate for OTP is a percentage of the wholesale price, which means the price for which a wholesaler buys other tobacco products, exclusive of any discount, trade allowance, rebate, or other reduction.

The tax rate for OTP is 15% of the wholesale price, which means the price for which a wholesaler buys other tobacco products, exclusive of any discount, trade allowance, rebate, or other reduction.
