Maine lawmaker pushes 1 percent hike in corporate tax
Representative Mary Najarian proposes a one percent increase in Maine's corporate income tax to reimburse municipalities for lost revenue from repealing the inventory tax. She says the plan also counters Governor Longley’s budget, which aims to empower towns to levy local taxes on inventories or cut the corporate tax, while lawmakers debate funding the $14.2 million gap. Senate President Sewall supports repaying towns but doubts Longley’s inventory option, calling inventories difficult to appraise and administer.
