I did remember it correctly, we have an income-based table to pick our use tax. The actual wording is:
If you purchased items for use in Maine from retailers
who did not collect the Maine sales tax (such as businesses in
other states and many mail order and internet sellers), you may
owe Maine use tax on those items. The rate of tax for purchases
in 2010 is 5%. If you paid another state’s sales or use tax on any
purchase, that amount may be credited against the Maine use
tax due on that purchase. If you do not know the exact amount of
Maine use tax that you owe, either multiply your Maine adjusted
gross income from line 15 by .08% (.0008) or use the table below.
So, unless you can somehow prove the negative fact that you never crossed the state line and never ordered anything from a catalog or the internet you pay.
