The State of Maine requires all sales conducted within the state be subject to Maine’s sales tax, which is 5.5% of the hammer price plus buyer’s premium. Even if property purchased at an auction within the state is purchased by and shipped to a resident in another state, Maine considers the sale to be conducted at the point the property is delivered to a shipper paid by the buyer. As buyers are responsible for and must pay for shipping, we are required to collect the sales tax under Maine law if the item is delivered to a shipper within the state. This does not apply to resellers, below. Reseller Requirements In order to be exempt from Maine sales tax, a reseller (gallery, broker, dealer) must provide us with a valid state-issued resellers certificate. For out-of-state resellers, you must also provide us with a properly executed Uniform Sales/Use Tax Certificate issued by the Multi State Resale Commission.
