The percentage for each property tax year is the same as the percentage of state reimbursement under subsection 2. Sec. M-17. 36 MRSA §841, sub-§4, as amended by PL 2025, c. 113, Pt.

Page 148 - 132LR3049(37) resident individual who is a veteran who is 100% permanently and totally disabled is allowed an additional credit against the taxes imposed under this Part in an amount equal to the amount calculated under subsection 2‑D.

Notwithstanding the Maine Revised Statutes, Title 36, section 684, subsection 1, property that received one of the following property tax exemptions or additional property tax exemptions in the property tax year beginning April 1, 2026 is presumed to be eligible for that equivalent property tax exemption or additional property tax exemption for the property tax year beginning April 1, 2027 unless the State Tax Assessor determines that property is no longer eligible for that exemption under Title 36, chapter 105, subchapter 4-B: 1. The Maine resident homestead property tax exemption pursuant to Title 36, section 683; 2. The additional property tax exemption pursuant to Title 36, section 653 for veterans; or 3. An additional property tax exemption pursuant to Title 36, section 654-A for persons who are legally blind. Sec. M-21. Guidance regarding consolidation of property tax exemptions for homesteads, veterans and individuals who are legally blind.

Page 154 - 132LR3049(37) §5217-A. Income tax paid to other taxing jurisdiction A resident individual is allowed a credit against the tax otherwise due under this Part, excluding the tax imposed by section 5203-C, equal to the amount determined in subsection 1 plus the amount determined in subsection 2, as limited by subsection 4. 1. Individual income tax. For individual income tax, the credit is the amount of income tax imposed on that individual for the taxable year by another state of the United States, a political subdivision of any such state, the District of Columbia or any political subdivision of a foreign country that is analogous to a state of the United States with respect to income subject to tax under this Part that is derived from sources in that taxing jurisdiction. 2. Distributive share. If another state of the United States, a political subdivision of any such state, the District of Columbia or any political subdivision of a foreign country that is analogous to a state of the United States imposes an income tax on an individual, trust or estate that is substantially similar to the income tax imposed on such an individual, trust or estate under this Part, the credit is equal to the amount of the individual's distributive share of tax imposed on a pass-through entity that is substantially similar to the tax imposed under chapter 815, subchapter 3, reduced by any refundable credits to the extent the refundable credits reduce the income tax imposed on the individual, trust or estate below zero, with respect to income subject to tax under this Part that is derived from sources in that taxing jurisdiction. 3. Sourcing of income. In determining whether income is derived from sources in another jurisdiction described in subsections 1 and 2, the assessor may not employ the law of the other jurisdiction but shall instead assume that a statute equivalent to section 5142 applies in that jurisdiction. 4. Credit limitation. The credit, for any of the specified taxing jurisdictions described in subsections 1 and 2, may not exceed the proportion of the tax otherwise due under this Part, excluding the tax imposed by section 5203-C, that the amount of the taxpayer's Maine adjusted gross income derived from sources in that taxing jurisdiction bears to the taxpayer's entire Maine adjusted gross income; except that, when a credit is claimed for taxes paid to both a state and a political subdivision of a state, the total credit allowable for those taxes does not exceed the proportion of the tax otherwise due under this Part, excluding the tax imposed by section 5203-C, that the amount of the taxpayer's Maine adjusted gross income derived from sources in the other state bears to the taxpayer's entire Maine adjusted gross income. Sec. N-5. 36 MRSA §5219-CCC is enacted to read: §5219-CCC. Credit for pass-through entity tax paid A qualified member, as defined in section 5199-A, subsection 9, is allowed a credit against the tax imposed by this Part equal to 90% of the amount of the tax required to be reported to the qualified member for the taxable year by an electing pass-through entity, as defined in section 5199-A, subsection 4, in accordance with section 5199-G. The credit authorized by this section is refundable. A credit is not allowed under this section unless the electing pass-through entity paid the tax imposed under chapter 815, subchapter 3 and provided sufficient information on the pass-through entity tax return as prescribed by the assessor to identify that qualified member and the qualified member's distributive share of
Page 155 - 132LR3049(37) the tax paid by the electing pass-through entity. The provisions of section 5219-G, subsection 2 may not be applied to the credit allowed under this section. Sec.

"Estimated tax" means the total amount of tax that a person estimates will be due for a taxable year under this Part, exclusive of a withholder's liability for taxes withheld and the tax imposed by chapter 815, subchapter 3, less any allowable credits for that taxable year. Sec. N-7. 36 MRSA §5231, sub-§1-A, as amended by PL 2023, c. 441, Pt. C, §7 and affected by §11, is further amended to read: 1-A. Federal extension. When an individual, estate or trust is granted an extension of time within which to file a federal income tax return for any taxable year, an extension to file the taxpayer's income tax return with respect to the tax imposed by this Part is automatically granted for an equivalent period from the date prescribed for filing the return. When a taxable corporation, an electing pass-through entity under chapter 815, subchapter 3 or a financial institution subject to the tax imposed by chapter 819 is granted an extension of time within which to file its federal income tax return for any taxable year, an extension to file the taxpayer's income tax, pass-through entity tax or franchise tax return with respect to the tax imposed by this Part is automatically granted for an equivalent period from the date prescribed for filing the return plus 30 days. Sec. N-8. Application. This Act applies to taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2026. PART O Sec. O-1. 36 MRSA §6652, sub-§1-D, as enacted by PL 2005, c. 12, Pt.

PART T
Page 157 - 132LR3049(37) Sec. T-1. Affordability Payment Program established; purpose. The State has determined that residents face increasingly high costs for basic necessities of life and, further, that the burden of these high costs warrants assistance from the State. The Affordability Payment Program, referred to in this section as "the program," is established within the Department of Administrative and Financial Services to promote the general welfare by returning a portion of consumption taxes through a payment to individuals disproportionately affected by those costs. The affordability payment is intended to offset expenses that have been incurred, and will be incurred in fiscal year 2026-27, by those individuals. 1. Definitions. As used in this section, unless the context otherwise indicates, the following terms have the following meanings. A. "Affordability payment" means a payment in the amount of $300 made pursuant to the program. B. "Assessor" means the State Tax Assessor. C.

"Tax year" means a tax year beginning on or after January 1, 2025 but not later than December 31, 2025. Any other terms used in this section have the same meanings as when used in a comparable context in the Maine Revised Statutes, Title 36, Part 8 relating to Maine income taxes, unless different meanings are clearly required. 2. Affordability Payment Program Fund Other Special Revenue Funds account established. The State Controller shall establish within the Department of Administrative and Financial Services the nonlapsing Affordability Payment Program Fund Other Special Revenue Funds account, which is funded through a transfer from the available balance of the Maine Budget Stabilization Fund pursuant to section 2. 3. Affordability payment. The assessor shall make affordability payments in accordance with this subsection. A. The assessor shall identify all eligible recipients.
Page 158 - 132LR3049(37) B. Beginning as soon as administratively feasible but not later than July 31, 2026, the assessor shall make an affordability payment to each eligible recipient for Maine income tax returns filed by July 1, 2026 for the tax year. Funds for the affordability payments must come from the fund and, notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, are not subject to setoff to debts owed to agencies of the State. C. By December 31, 2026, the assessor shall make an affordability payment to each eligible recipient who did not receive an affordability payment pursuant to paragraph B. Funds for the affordability payments must come from the fund and, notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, are not subject to setoff to debts owed to agencies of the State. D. An individual who has not received an affordability payment under paragraph B or C may provide documentation to the assessor by March 1, 2027 showing that the individual is an eligible recipient. The assessor shall review the documentation, determine if the individual is an eligible recipient and notify the individual of any adverse determination. This determination constitutes final agency action and is not reviewable pursuant to the Maine Revised Statutes, Title 36, section 151. E. By April 30, 2027, the assessor shall make an affordability payment to each eligible recipient determined eligible pursuant to paragraph D. Funds for the affordability payments must come from the fund and, notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, are not subject to setoff to debts owed to agencies of the State. 4. State income tax subtraction modification. For tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2026 but not later than December 31, 2027, in determining the taxable income of an individual, within the meaning of the Maine Revised Statutes, Title 36, section 5122, federal adjusted gross income must be reduced by an amount equal to the affordability payment received by the individual, pursuant to this Part, to the extent the payment is included in federal adjusted gross income for the taxable year. The assessor shall request a ruling from the United States Internal Revenue Service that the affordability payments are not subject to federal taxation. 5. Designation as unclaimed property. For purposes of the program, affordability payment checks that remain undeposited on December 31, 2027 are to be treated as unclaimed property but are not subject to the notice and receipt provisions established in the Maine Revised Statutes, Title 33, section 2101 or the one-year dormancy period specified in Title 33, section 2061 that would be applicable to such checks. The Treasurer of State shall use unclaimed property systems and networks to find the proper recipients of such checks as quickly as possible. 6. Application to municipal general assistance program. For purposes of the municipal general assistance program established pursuant to the Maine Revised Statutes, Title 22, chapter 1161, affordability payments are not income, as defined in Title 22, section 4301, subsection 7; may not be considered to reduce need, as defined in Title 22, section 4301, subsection 10; and may not be considered a potential resource, as described in Title 22, section 4317. 7. Taxability of affordability payment. The State finds that the great majority of eligible recipients have paid at least $300 in Maine sales and excise taxes, which have contributed to the balance in the Maine Budget Stabilization Fund.

The board office shall issue a certificate of occupancy for the manufactured housing if, after appropriate notice and administrative hearing in accordance with Title 5, chapter 375, subchapter IV 4, the board office determines that: A. The manufactured housing has been certified pursuant to the rules adopted by the board office; B. The certificate of occupancy was not denied pursuant to subsection 5, paragraph A; and C.
