Here’s how an angel investor tax credit program would work in Maryland – Baltimore Business Journal

Maryland could establish a $5 million fund to put toward tax credits for individuals and firms who invest in startup companies.

Startup and investor advocates, including the Greater Baltimore Committee, have said they will push for the state to create a new tax credit specifically for angel investors who give money to companies at their earliest stages, when they often struggle to bring in needed cash. A bill introduced by Baltimore City Democrat Sen. Catherine Pugh earlier this month details how the tax credit would work and who could qualify as an investor and startup recipient.
