Motor Vehicle Excise Tax and Registration Fees

In Maine, the excise tax is based on the MSRP (manufacturer's suggested retail toll) of the vehicle when it was sold new. That is why Maine constabulary provides that each new
automobile, SUV, van or light truck registered for the offset fourth dimension must exist accompanied past the Monroney Label (window sticker).

The law provides that excise tax declines over the first six years of the vehicle's life and is calculated every bit follows:

Get-go twelvemonth $24.00 per $1000 of MSRP
2d year $17.50 per $1000 of MSRP
Third yr $13.l per $1000 of MSRP
4th twelvemonth $ten.00 per $m of MSRP
Fifth yr $ 6.50 per $chiliad of MSRP
Sixth and subsequent years $ 4.00 per $1000 of MSRP

If you lot know the "sticker toll" of a new automobile, you can calculate the excise tax by
subtracting the destination charges, dividing the result by $1,000 and multiplying that by $24.00.

New Vehicle Example:

Sticker price                           $26,000
Destination charges               – $550
Total                                       $25,450

$25,450 / $1,000 = $25.45
$25.45 x $24.00 = $610.eighty

Excise tax                           $610.lxxx
Registration fee    $35.00 (varies depending on license plate)
Agent fee                                $half dozen.00
Total price to register           $651.eighty

The same method will be used to calculate the fees to re-register the same vehicle the following year. Your former registration volition show the MSRP as the base of operations and the mil rate used. The new mil charge per unit volition drop down one year as shown above.

MSRP                                   $25,450
