Comptroller’s Office To Resume Collection Activities On Aug. 16

The Maryland comptroller’s office will resume collection activities on Aug. 16, Comptroller Peter V.R. Franchot (D) said this week.

An emergency pause on comptroller collection activities is set to phase out on Aug. 15, and tax officials will resume a variety of auditing and tax-collecting activities the next day, according to a release from Franchot.

Some taxpayers may receive notifications before Aug. 16 if legal action is required earlier than that date, according to the release.

“My office will continue to work with individual and business taxpayers who continue to feel the lingering effects of the pandemic,” Franchot said in a statement. “I’m encouraged that Maryland’s high vaccination rates could help us emerge from the pandemic, but for many, COVID-19 took a heavy toll on their bottom lines that will take a long time from which to recover.”

Taxpayers with business tax liabilities can contact the Comptroller’s Office at 410-649-0633 or [email protected], and will need to include their business name, contact name, daytime telephone number, central registration number or federal identification number.

Taxpayers with personal income liabilities can call 410-974-2432 or [email protected], and will need to include their address, daytime phone number and the last four digits of their social security number.
