Starting January 1, 2026, Maine will tax digital streaming subscriptions like Netflix, Hulu, and Spotify at 5.5%, ending a previous exemption for online content.
The change, part of a $320 million budget package, aims to align taxes with modern usage and generate $5 million in the first year, rising to $14.3 million by 2029.
Monthly costs will increase slightly, with Netflix rising less than $1 and Hulu live TV by about $5.
Providers must disclose the tax clearly.
Additional tax hikes on cigarettes and cannabis are also taking effect, expected to bring in $75 million and $3.9 million net, respectively.
