Recreational Marijuana Taxes Across US States, 2026

The Tax Foundation published 2026 recreational marijuana excise tax data across US states that have legalized recreational cannabis. Approximately 20 states are included, with tax structures varying by state: some tax wholesale value, others tax retail sales, and several employ THC-content-based formulas. Notable 2025 legislative changes captured include Maine's tax rebalancing (reduced wholesale rates, raised retail percentage from 10% to 14%), Maryland's rate increase from 9% to 12%, Michigan's new 24% wholesale tax, Minnesota's increase from 10% to 15%, and New Mexico's increase from 12% to 13% with scheduled annual increases through 2030.

Maine Millionaire Tax Would Harm Small Business Competitiveness

The Tax Foundation published analysis opposing Maine's proposed 2 percentage point surtax on high earners, which would increase the top marginal rate from 7.15% to 9.15% on income above $1 million, raising an estimated $74 million annually from approximately 2,631 filers. The analysis raises concerns about the proposal's impact on small businesses, noting that 70% of Maine filers with income exceeding $1 million have pass-through business income and 48% of all pass-through business income in the state was earned by filers with over $1 million in adjusted gross income. Small business owners and investors subject to the tax may face reduced profitability and increased competitive disadvantage relative to out-of-state rivals.
