The state sales tax rate in Maine is 5.5%.
Maine Revenue Services' rate table shows a single statewide general sales tax rate of 5.5%, unchanged since October 1, 2013, and lists no local sales tax rates.
Maine's sales tax statute says the sale price does not include the price received for labor or services used in installing, applying or repairing the property sold, if separately charged or stated. The Revenue Services business guide's example: a repair billed as $80 labor and $120 parts is taxed only on the $120 of parts, while a single $200 repair charge is taxable in full.
