The Legislature’s Taxation Committee Tuesday narrowly approved a bill that would raise more tax money from top wage earners in Maine by tacking a 3 percent surcharge on taxable income over $200,000.
The vote came during debate over 10 bills that sought to change the state’s tax brackets or add surcharges on top earners.
The 6-5 party-line vote on the surcharge bill with Democrats on the committee backing the measure and Republicans opposing it came as lawmakers rejected eight other bills to either raise taxes on top earners or create a straight 5 percent tax rate.
Apparently, people sometimes do read their receipts.
People across the state have taken notice of a 15¢ pesticide fee listed on their cash receipts in addition to the regular price when buying products like Lysol Disinfecting Wipes and Scrubbing Bubbles Mega Shower Foamer. So what s up with that?
Back on June 16th of 2020, a new law was implemented here in Maine. It s called the Pesticide Container Fee, and it s applied at the check out counter of any store here in the state when buying things like flea collars for pets, pool chlorination tablets, and yes, things like Lysol Disinfecting Wipes and Scrubbing Bubbles products. As a matter of fact, many cleaning products, sanitizers, and disinfectants like Clorox wipes are assessed the Pesticide Container Fee at checkout.
