Local tax & compliance

What Portland businesses should know about Maine taxes

S

State income tax

Maine taxes personal income, so owners of pass-through businesses (sole proprietors, LLCs, and S corporations) need clean, reconciled year-end books for their state return.

%

Sales tax

Maine’s statewide base sales tax rate is 5.5%. Local taxes are often added on top, so the rate you charge depends on where your sales happen. We track sales tax collected separately from revenue so filing is simple.

Taxes to watch in Maine

Maine uses a statewide sales tax rate with no local sales taxes.

F

Where you file

Most Maine business filings go to the Maine Revenue Services. We keep your books organized so these returns are a simple handoff to you or your CPA.
