Once a remote seller exceeds this threshold, the business must register for Maine sales tax and begin collecting tax on taxable transactions shipped to customers in Bangor and other Maine jurisdictions.
Economic nexus applies to ecommerce sellers, SaaS companies, marketplace sellers, and other remote businesses delivering goods or services into Maine.
