Sources & Methodology
Entries are compiled from enacted Maine public laws and budget documents: the FY2024–25 biennial budget (PL 2023, c. 412), the 2024 supplemental budget (PL 2023, c. 643), the FY2026–27 biennial budget (PL 2025, c. 388), and the 2026 supplemental budget (LD 2212, signed April 10, 2026).
Revenue figures come from Maine Revenue Services and the Department of Administrative and Financial Services where available, supplemented by estimates from the Maine Policy Institute (MPI) and the Maine Center for Economic Policy (MECEP), and reporting from the Maine Morning Star, Portland Press Herald, Maine Public, The Maine Monitor, and The Maine Wire. The “#5 most taxed state” figure is WalletHub’s 2026 tax-burden ranking.
Where no official standalone estimate exists, entries are marked “Not separately scored.”
What Counts as an Increase
This tracker counts enacted rate increases, new taxes and fees, and tax-base expansions. It also counts decisions to decline or defer federal tax cuts (items 12, 13, 15, 16, 18), repeal of relief programs and credits (14, 24), and fiscal actions that draw down dedicated or reserve funds (31, 32). Item 30 is a state-mandated stewardship fee collected by a nonprofit, not a state tax.
