Motor Vehicle Excise Tax and Registration Fees

In Maine, the excise tax is based on the MSRP (manufacturer's suggested retail price) of the vehicle when it was sold new. That is why Maine law provides that each new
automobile, SUV, van or light truck registered for the first fourth dimension must be accompanied by 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 as follows:

Showtime year $24.00 per $grand of MSRP
2d year $17.50 per $1000 of MSRP
Third year $13.50 per $k of MSRP
Quaternary twelvemonth $x.00 per $1000 of MSRP
Fifth year $ half dozen.fifty per $g of MSRP
Sixth and subsequent years $ 4.00 per $g of MSRP

If you know the "sticker cost" of a new car, you can summate the excise tax by
subtracting the destination charges, dividing the result by $1,000 and multiplying that by $24.00.

New Vehicle Case:

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

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

Excise tax                           $610.80
Registration fee    $35.00 (varies depending on license plate)
Agent fee                                $6.00
Total cost to register           $651.eighty
