Service Provider Tax Repealed

The Maine Department of Revenue has issued a notice confirming the repeal of the Service Provider Tax, which will take effect on January 1, 2026. This repeal signifies the removal of a specific tax obligation previously imposed on certain service providers within the state.

Businesses that were subject to the Service Provider Tax must cease collecting and remitting it as of January 1, 2026. Compliance officers should ensure their systems and processes are updated to reflect this change and that no further tax is collected or remitted after the effective date. No specific actions are required beyond ceasing the tax collection and remittance.
