Fair Share Maryland

They're at the negotiating table now working to finalize the budget. Tell your legislators to include combined reporting in the final budget! fairsharemaryland.org/take-action

Big corporations shouldn't be able to hide their profits to avoid paying state taxes. We lose out on millions of dollars every single year without combine reporting. The House passed a budget that includes combined reporting, but the Senate rejected this crucial provision.

Failing to support @govwesmoore.bsky.social budget & @fairsharemd.bsky.social would be madness! Tell your State Senator & Senate President @billferguson we need #BetterTransitNOW. Find your Senator's contact information here: mgaleg.maryland.gov/mgawebsite/m...

Many states are pushing harmful tax cuts that would mostly help the rich.

But some – especially MD, CT, MA, and WA - are instead asking more from the wealthy.

Asking the well-off to contribute more is a must for creating a fair and equitable state tax system.

We are in Annapolis today in strong support of HB 1014. Our communities are stronger when everyone has what they need.

For my Maryland friends. This is an effort to make our tax system more progressive - it's very regressive now. We need Marylanders to contact their state legislators about this.

Poll: Md. Gov. Moore’s taxes on the wealthy and cannabis are popular Maryland residents support Gov. Wes Moore’s plan to raise taxes on the wealthy, but they’re not enthusiastic about a 75-cent delivery fee.

It's no surprise to us that most Marylanders want the ultra-wealthy to pay their fair share in taxes to support the essential services we all rely on. We've been having these conversations with people across Maryland for years. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

Analysis of Gov. Moore’s tax plan: “The wealthiest 1 percent of Maryland taxpayers are currently the least-taxed income group in the state. This plan asks more of those at the top.” itep.org/maryland-gov...

If you’re reading this, you paid more for your Netflix subscription than Netflix paid in taxes in 2018, despite making over $800 million that year.

This is the corporate tax handout Trump is trying to repeat.

Netflix just raised its prices again, btw.

While the tax reforms included in Gov. Moore's proposed budget provide a strong foundation for improving our state's tax system and raising much-needed resources, the Fair Share for Maryland Act goes a step further to raise additional revenue and help prevent cuts in funding for essential services.

For too long, our tax system has placed the greatest responsibility on working families and small businesses while our state receives less revenue to fund essential public services.

The Fair Share for Maryland Act of 2025 legislation helps address the state's budget crisis by closing corporate tax loopholes and ensuring the wealthiest Marylanders are paying their fair share in taxes. It also provides tax breaks for working families by expanding tax credits.
