Tax on estate of nonresident 
A tax is imposed upon the transfer of real property and 
tangible personal property situated in this State and held by an 
individual who dies prior to January 1, 2002 or after December 
31, 2002 and who at the time of death was not a resident of this 
State. 
When 
real 
or 
tangible 
personal 
property 
has 
been 
transferred into a trust, the tax imposed by this section applies 
as if the trust did not exist and the property was personally 
owned by the decedent. 
Maine property is subject to the tax

included in the decedent's 
federal 
gross estate 
as--Eiaa~~y 
Qe~e~miaeQ-~~--~~a~-e5~a~e-~~-~a~~eses. 
The amount of this 
tax is a sum equal to that proportion of the federal credit that 
the value of Maine real and tangible personal property taxed in 
this State that qualifies for the credit bears to the value of 
the decedent' s 
~e~a~ federal gross estate. All property values

tax purposes, except that for estates of decedents dying after

incurred a federal estate tax. 
The share of the federal credit 
used to determine the amount of a nonresident individual's estate 
tax under this section is computed without regard to whether the 
specific real or tangible personal property located in the State 
is marital deduction property. 
Proceeds from the sale of property are taxable under this 
section if those proceeds are included in the ~e~a~ federal gross 
estate and the sale was made in contemplation of death. 
A sale 
of property made within 6 months prior to the death of the 
grantor is deemed to be in contemplation of death within the 
meaning of this section.

COMMITTEE AMENDMENT 
• 
COMMITTEE AMENDMENT "A" to H.P. 1420, L.D. 1919 
the unit's program cost has exceeded the circuit breaker for that 
uni t' s program cost. 
Thus, the state share of the purchase is 
100% of the Department of Education-approved purchase price minus 
the reduction percentage for the year that the subsidy is due. 
Boothbay-Boothbay Harbor, Baileyville and Hancock are, as are all 
other schools,

shares of 
a

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 
Street Journal 
on 
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 
business day, 
rounded up to the next whole percent plus a 
1. 
percentage points.

prescribed for payment of tax must be determined without regard 
to any extension of time permitted for filing a return. 
A tax 
that is 
upheld 
on 
administrative 
or 
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.
