TAX SECTION MEMBERS CAN NOW ACCESS THE MARYLAND TAX PRACTITIONER'S HANDBOOK ONLINE!

Tax Section members already received a print copy of the 2008 Maryland Tax Practitioner's Handbook, a joint effort among Section Council and students from the University of Baltimore School of Law. The Handbook provides contact information for the Office of the Comptroller, State Department of Assessments & Taxation, Maryland legislature, Maryland and U.S. Tax Courts, and the IRS (for MD/DC practitioners). Now Tax Section members can view this publication online. As an added feature in the online edition, readers can link on many of the names and access email addresses.

COMPTROLLER ISSUES EMERGENCY COMBINED REPORTING REGULATIONS

On August 26, 2008, the Comptroller posted emergency regulations for combined corporate information reporting requirements and, due to the short time period before the first reporting deadline, submitted the regulations to the Joint Committee on Administrative, Executive and Legislative Review (the "AELR Committee"). The regulations can be found at http://business.marylandtaxes.com/pdf/EmergencyRegulations.pdf. According to the Comptroller's website, the emergency regulations are likely to be effective through February 2009, at which time identical regulations, submitted through the regular review and comment process, are expected to take effect.

The Section of Taxation is reviewing the regulations and considering the submission of comments to the Comptroller and/or the AELR Committee.


COMPTROLLER ISSUES PROPOSED COMBINED REPORTING REGULATIONS

On Monday, July 14, 2008, the Section of Taxation submitted Comments on the draft regulations to Tax Gen. 10-804.1, Maryland's new combined reporting requirements.  The Comments are attached below.  I want to thank the State Legislation and Regulatory Proposal Committee and other members of the Section for their signficant efforts in putting these Comments together on such an expedited basis.  Definitely a job well done.
