Sales and Use Tax - Tax-Free Day - Veterans' Day

HB 34 establishes an annual tax-free day on November 11 (Veterans Day) starting in 2025, exempting sales and use tax on goods purchased by veterans in Maryland. It directly affects veterans who must show proof of eligibility, such as a driver's license or ID card with a veteran notation, to qualify for the exemption at checkout. The bill defines "veteran" as someone with active duty service in the U.S. military, National Guard, or Public Health Service, discharged under honorable conditions. This policy change removes sales tax from qualifying purchases made by veterans on Veterans Day each year.
