Corporate Income Tax

Maine imposes an income tax on all entities organized as corporations and that have Maine-source income. The corporate income tax is graduated, with rates ranging from 3.5% (for income up to $350,000) to 8.93% (for income in excess of $3,500,000).  The tax generally does not apply to S corporations unless the corporation has federal taxable income at the corporate level.  The tax does not apply to financial institutions that are subject to Maine’s franchise tax, or to insurance companies subject to premiums tax.
