Maine sales tax to rise to 4 percent with brackets
Maine votes to raise the sales tax from 4 to 4 percent effective November 1 under Gov. Curtis and the 103rd legislature. The change aims to boost state revenue by about 4.05 million dollars for the remaining fiscal year and 7.5 million for the next year. Tax brackets shift, with minimal savings on many small purchases. On a seven dollar forty nine cent item the tax rises from 30 to 34 cents, and the bracket system enforces the new rates across purchase levels.
