Eversheds Sutherland Partner Michele Borens is quoted in this Tax Notes State article discussing states who may be considering enacting digital advertising taxes similar to the one in Maryland. 

In the article, in addition to mentioning many states do not need the additional revenue generated by such taxes, Michele said she is “really hopeful that as we go into 2022, the states that had been proposing legislation regarding digital advertising taxes or taxes on social media exercise some restraint as the litigation in Maryland continues and they wait to see what happens there.”

“It would be great to see the states stand down on this,” she added.
