Maryland’s gas tax holiday expires at 11:59 p.m. on Saturday with no plan for an extension. The tax relief had previously helped with the “financial burden of taxpayers,” according to the Maryland taxes website. The 30-day gas tax bill was initially signed by Maryland Governor Larry Hogan on March 18, according to a press release by the state’s comptroller Peter Franchot.
