Comptroller of Maryland Form Instructions
Form 202 — Maryland Sales and Use Tax Return (instructions)
SALES AND USE TAX
Instruction A. For use by cannabis dispensaries and on-site cannabis consumption businesses. Senate Bill 516 of 2023 establishes that the sales and use tax applies at a rate of 12% to the retail sales of cannabis and cannabis products. Cannabis dispensaries and on-site cannabis consumption businesses are required to collect and remit sales tax on retail sales of cannabis. If you are reporting sales of cannabis on Line 15, or taxable purchases on Line 31, you must check the appropriate box and provide the physical location address and political subdivision from which you made the cannabis sale or purchases for use. A separate sales and use tax account is required for each retail loca - tion. Cannabis businesses are not permitted to consolidate reporting of sales and use tax from multiple locations under a single account. Note for micro dispensary licensees: see special instructions at Line 15 for reporting your sales and tax collected using Form 202DLV. 1. Check the appropriate box if you are a reporting amounts from cannabis retail sales on Line 15 or purchases for use (such as display items which will not be sold to a customer) by your business on Line 31. 2. Find the 4 Digit Political Subdivision Code in the LIST OF INCORPO - RATED CITIES, TOWNS AND TAXING AREAS IN MARYLAND and en - ter this number on the 4 DIGIT POLITICAL SUBDIVISION CODE line. When selecting the 4 Digit Political Subdivision Code, be sure that you have selected the proper political subdivision from the LIST OF INCORPO - RATED CITIES, TOWNS AND TAXING AREAS IN MARYLAND. Do not rely on the ZIP Code + 4 to identify the proper political subdivision. For example, most addresses within the ZIP Code of Upper Marlboro are not in the po - litical subdivision of the Town of Upper Marlboro. Therefore, entering the Town of Upper Marlboro on the 4 DIGIT POLITICAL SUBDIVISION CODE line for those with a ZIP Code in Upper Marlboro may not be correct. Also, some political subdivisions have similar names such as Bel Air in Allegany County and Town of Bel Air in Harford County or Town of Chevy Chase and Town of Chevy Chase View. Contact your county seat for further information relating to the incorporated boundaries of incorporated cities, towns, and taxing areas in your county. 3. If your sales of cannabis or purchases for use were made within the incorpo - rated tax boundaries of one of the areas listed under your county as found in the LIST OF INCORPORATED CITIES, TOWNS, AND TAXING AREAS IN MARY - LAND, write the name of the city, town, or taxing area on the MARYLAND POLITICAL SUBDIVISION line. If your sales of cannabis or purchases for use were not made within the incorporated tax boundaries of one of the areas listed under your county as found in the LIST OF INCORPORATED CITIES, TOWNS AND TAXING AREAS IN MARYLAND, write the name of the county on the MARYLAND POLITICAL SUBDIVISION line. If your business location is in Baltimore City, enter "Baltimore City" on the MARYLAND POLITICAL SUBDI - VISION line. For additional information on your Maryland political subdivision, contact your locality or the Maryland Department of Planning. 4. Enter the street number and street name on MARYLAND PHYSICAL LOCATION ADDRESS LINE 1. DO NOT ENTER A PO BOX NUMBER. 5. If applicable, enter the floor, suite or apartmen t number on MARYLAND PHYS- ICAL LOCATION ADDRESS LINE 2. DO NOT ENTER A PO BOX NUMBER. 6.
