14. Do I need to charge Maine sales tax to people purchasing my products from out of state?

There would be no Maine sales tax on sales where the seller arranges for shipment directly out of state or out of the country. A copy of the sales slip and shipping invoice will need to be retained showing that sale was shipped directly out of state or out of the country.

Any sales shipped within the State of Maine would be taxable except sales to tax exempt organizations or sales for resale. For these types of sales you will need to retain a copy of the permanent exemption certificate or the resale certificate for your files.
