Home Services

Maryland’s sales tax went from 5 percent to 6 percent on Thursday. (Although often it’s a little more than 6 percent. See this post.) A few stores did not make a smooth transition, apparently. I got a couple emails from readers who said they were overcharged a few cents at Home Depot stores. One was the Whitemarsh store. I queried Home Depot about this.

Spokeswoman Anne Manning said that there was a problem at “a small few” stores and that it has been fixed. “We were able to quickly work out any issues with our point-of-sale process by Friday,” she says. “We have not received any further customer complaints and believe the issue is resolved. If you hear otherwise, please let me know.”
