Filing Deadline April 15
The Maryland State Department of Assessments and Taxation (SDAT)
recently announced the ability for businesses and tax preparers in
Maryland to submit annual business personal property returns
online. The Business Personal Property Return Filing Service is the
latest addition to Maryland’s Central Business Licensing and
Registration Portal (CBL Portal), which was created to make it
easier to conduct business in Maryland. Businesses and tax
preparers can access the CBL Portal through the State’s official
website, www.maryland.gov, or by visiting
www.egov.maryland.gov/easy to file their personal property return
with SDAT.
“We are excited to offer this new business-friendly service as
another step toward efficient government operations," said Michael
Griffin, Associate Director with the State Department of
Assessments and Taxation. “By enhancing this already popular
service, we are providing businesses with the tools they need to
file their personal property returns quickly and more
efficiently."
Business owners and tax preparers can submit their business
personal property return filings electronically to SDAT in three
easy steps. Filers register for an account, enter the required
information and upload documents, and then submit payment.
Registering for an account allows users to save their filing
information to reference year after year. Tax preparers can also
file multiple returns for different customers under one login. The
online system accepts all major credit cards and is available 24
hours a day, 7 days a week with immediate filing confirmation once
the filing has been submitted.
A Maryland personal property return must be submitted by April
15, 2015 for all businesses that are incorporated, qualified or
registered to do business in the State of Maryland. This includes
corporations, sole proprietors, limited liability partnerships,
limited liability companies, limited partnerships, business trusts,
and real estate investment trusts. The state fee for filing
business personal property returns in Maryland is $300 for most
legal entities.
Other services available through the Central Business Licensing
and Registration Portal include the ability to register a new
business, establish tax accounts, order certified copies, and
register a trade name. Entrepreneurs who use the CBL Portal are not
required to know which specific agencies they must interface with
to successfully complete the process for starting or managing their
business, all while avoiding the hassle of submitting redundant
applications in-person at multiple agencies. To date, over 32,000
business filings, or 28 percent of all new business entity filings,
have been submitted through the CBL Portal and were approved in
less than two business days.
“We are creating and promoting a more business-friendly climate.
The addition of this service is the latest step to make it easier
to conduct business in Maryland, which ultimately attracts more
companies to the state,” said Greg Urban, Maryland’s Chief
Technology Officer. “We are committed to delivering eGovernment
services that make it easier for the citizens and businesses in
Maryland to engage with their government.”
The CBL Portal was developed at no charge for the State of
Maryland by NIC Maryland, through the self-funded eGovernment
services contract with the State Department of Information
Technology (DoIT).
