Frequently Asked Questions

Making Sales Tax Simpler

  • Do I need to register for sales tax if I’m a new business?

    Yes, most businesses selling taxable goods or services in Maine are required to register with the state before collecting sales tax. We can guide you through the registration process and ensure you’re set up correctly from the start. This helps Camden-area startups avoid delays or compliance issues down the road.

  • How often do I need to file sales tax returns?

    The Maine Revenue Service assigns filing frequencies—monthly, quarterly, or annually—based on your sales volume. We can handle the filing schedule for you and make sure each return is submitted on time. Many small businesses in Camden and surrounding towns prefer outsourcing this task to avoid missed deadlines and late fees.

  • Can you help if I missed a sales tax payment or filing?

    Yes, we often assist businesses that have fallen behind on their sales tax obligations. We’ll review your past sales, calculate what’s owed, and work with you to get caught up. Having an experienced partner makes it easier to correct mistakes and get back in good standing with the state.

  • Do you work with restaurants and hospitality businesses?

    Absolutely. We have experience with Maine’s meals and lodging tax, which applies to restaurants, inns, and other hospitality businesses. Our team understands the specific reporting and record-keeping requirements for these industries and can ensure everything is filed correctly.

  • What happens if my business is selected for a sales tax audit?

    If the state selects your business for an audit, we can help you organize your records and provide the documentation they request. We’ll work with you to ensure the process goes smoothly and help you respond accurately to auditor questions. Having clean, well-prepared records can make a significant difference in the outcome.
