Maine keeps sales tax simple in one way and tricky in another: there's no local sales tax anywhere in the state, so the rate never changes city to city - but the rate itself is tiered. The general rate is 5.5%, while prepared meals are taxed at 8%, lodging at 9%, and short-term auto rentals at 10%, on top of a graduated income tax topping at 7.15%. For restaurants, inns, and seasonal coastal businesses, charging the right rate on every sale is the work - and that's exactly what we keep clean.
