Maine.gov revenue is a website that connects Maine residents with the funds they may be owed. If you believe you are owed some money, here is your chance to find out if it is true.  Maine.gov makes use of advanced technological components to support both the state government, as well as its citizens. This reduces time and resources needed for everyday interactions with the state. In addition, it provides a centralized location for Maine’s vital information that is easily accessible to those who need it—including both residents and visitors to our great state. The budget seeks to sustain Maine’s role as an innovative leader in addressing the challenges and opportunities facing the state through a responsible approach to revenue, expenditure management, strategic investment, cost containment and asset utilization.

What is Maine.gov revenue?

Maine.gov revenue is a program that provides an easy way for local governments, universities and other eligible organizations to raise funds for their most important projects. The revenue recovered helps pay for things like building and repairing roads, schools and water treatment plants. Additionally, if you support this program, your contribution will be matched up to a 50% maximum of $100K by the State of Maine.

The Maine.gov revenue includes the sales and use tax generated by Maine retailers and services. The sales tax is a tax on retail sales made in Maine that is collected by the retailer at the time of sale, who remits it to the state. Services are exempt from sales tax.

The revenue collected by the Office of Information Technology Services is used to cover all expenses related to the ongoing operation, management and technical assistance for the Maine.gov collaborative website. A 5% commission is charged for every transaction that occurs on the Maine.gov site and 10% of this revenue is held in a separate fund to support future development decisions. The Department of Administrative and Financial Services (DAFS) is responsible for collecting the state’s revenue. This is the money that funds government operations and helps to pay for vital public services like education, healthcare and transportation. It provides access to more than 1,100 business licenses and tax forms from the Maine Department of Administrative and Financial Services.
