is marital deduction property. 
Proceeds from the sale of property are taxable under this 
section if those proceeds are included in the tetal federal gross 
estate and the sale was made in contemplation of death.

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. 
In determining whether 
income is derived 
from 
sources in another 
jurisdiction, 
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. 
The 
credit, 
for 
any 
of 
the 
specified taxing jurisdictions, may not exceed the proportion of 
the tax otherwise due under this Part, excluding the tax imposed 
by section S~Q6-A ~,

adjusted gross 
income 
derived 
from 
sources

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

S186. Interest 
Any person who fails to pay any tax, other than a 
tax 
imposed pursuant to chapter 105, 
on or before the last date 
prescribed for 
payment 
is liable 
for 
interest 
on 
the 
tax, 
calculated from that date and compounded monthly. 
The rate of 
interest for any calendar year equals the highest prime rate as 
published in the 
Wall

the first 
day 
of 
September of the preceding calendar year or. if the first day of 
September falls on a weekend or holiday. on the next succeeding

prescribed for payment of tax must be determined without regard

judicial 
review 
bears 
interest from the date on which payment would have been due in 
the absence of review. 
Any tax. interest or penalty imposed by 
this Title that has been erroneously refunded and is recoverable 
by the assessor bears interest at the above rate from the date of 
payment of the refund. 
Interest accrues automatically. without 
being 
assessed by the 
assessor. 
and 
is 
recoverable 
by 
the 
assessor in the same manner as if it were a tax assessed under 
this Title. 
If the failure to pay 
a 
tax when 
required is 
explained to the satisfaction of the assessor. the assessor may 
abate or waive the payment of all or any part of that interest. 
Except as otherwise provided in this Title. and except for 
taxes 
imposed pursuant to chapter 105, 
interest, at the rate 
determined by the asseSSor for underpayments pursuant to this 
section, must be paid on overpayments of tax from the date the 
return listing the overpayment was filed, 
or the payment was 
made, whichever is later.
