Change in the Admissions and Amusement Tax Statute

The General Assembly of Maryland has enacted legislation which extends the admissions and amusement tax to the gross receipts derived on and after January 1, 1995, from the game of instant bingo permitted under a commercial bingo license in Anne Arundel County.

The admissions and amusement tax applies to the gross receipts from instant bingo, less any money or the cost of any prizes distributed as winnings to patrons.
