Tpdf Text

Maine LD291 would revert the sales tax on lodging in tourist and trailer camps to the general sales tax rate.

Maine LD291 amends the Maine Revised Statutes to change the sales tax rate for lodging in tourist and trailer camps. Currently, these rentals are subject to a 9% sales tax. This bill removes them from that higher rate, reverting them to the general sales tax rate of 5.5%. The change would apply to sales occurring on or after January 1, 2026.
