Trying to understand which food, and other goods, is and is not taxed in the state of Maryland can be confusing. You may be wondering what the percentage rate is when it comes to the food (sales and use) tax, and what that tax rate covers. The rate in Maryland is currently set at 6%, but not everything falls into the taxable category.
