1.  Imposition of tax.  A tax is imposed on the transfer of the Maine taxable estate of every person who, at the time of death, was a resident of this State. The amount of tax is determined as provided in this section.  

2.  Other jurisdiction death tax credit.  A credit against the tax imposed by this section is allowed for all constitutionally valid estate, inheritance, legacy and succession taxes actually paid to another jurisdiction upon the value of real or tangible personal property owned by the decedent or subject to those taxes as a part of or in connection with the estate and located in that jurisdiction if the value of that property is also included in the value of the decedent’s intangible personal property subject to taxation under this section. The credit provided by this subsection may not exceed the amount of tax otherwise due multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the value of the property located in the other taxing jurisdiction subject to this credit on which tax was actually paid and the denominator of which is the value of the decedent's adjusted federal gross estate. For the purposes of this section, "another jurisdiction" means another state, the District of Columbia, a possession or territory of the United States or any political subdivision of a foreign country that is analogous to a state.
