Item 1

 
owned by the decedent. Maine property is subject to the tax
imposed by this section to the extent that such property is
included in the decedent's gross estate as finally determined
for federal estate tax purposes. The amount of this tax is a
sum equal to that proportion of the federal credit that the
value of Maine real and tangible personal property taxed in this
State that qualifies for the credit bears to the value of the
decedent's total federal gross estate. All property values under
this section are as finally determined for federal estate tax
purposes, except that for those estates that do not incur a
federal estate tax, all property values are as finally
determined by the assessor in accordance with the Code as if the
estate had incurred a federal estate tax. The share of the
federal credit used to determine the amount of a nonresident
individual's estate tax under this section is computed without
regard to whether the specific real or tangible personal
property located in the State is marital deduction property.
