How to avoid state hotel tax

Tax-exempt organizations (as are most Universities) can avoid paying state hotel tax by obtaining a Sales and Use Tax Exempt Certificate from the State of Maryland. Only by presenting a copy of such certificate to the hotel can the taxes be avoided. To obtain a certificate, contact:
