Motor Vehicle Excise Taxes

Excise Tax is an annual tax that must be paid prior to registering a vehicle. Except for a few statutory exemptions, all vehicles registered in the State of Maine are subject to the excise tax. Excise Tax is defined by State Statute as a tax levied annually for the privilege of operating a motor vehicle or camper trailer on the public ways. 

The excise tax is calculated by multiplying the MSRP of the vehicle by the corresponding years mil rate shown below:

Year 1 .0240 mils
Year 2 .0175 mils
Year 3 .0135 mils
Year 4 .0100 mils
Year 5 .0065 mils
Year 6+ .0040 mils

For example a two year old car with a MSRP of $25,000 would be charged a mil rate of .0175 totaling an excise bill of $437.50 or ($25,000 x .0175 = $437.50).
