§5217-A. Income tax paid to other taxing jurisdiction

 
A resident individual is allowed a credit against the tax
otherwise due under this Part, excluding the tax imposed by
section 5203-A 5203-C, for the amount of income tax imposed on
that individual for the taxable year by another state of the
United States, a political subdivision of any such state, the
District of Columbia or any political subdivision of a foreign
country that is analogous to a state of the United States with
respect to income subject to tax under this Part that is derived
from sources in that taxing jurisdiction. In determining whether
income is derived from sources in another jurisdiction, the
assessor may not employ the law of the other jurisdiction but
shall instead assume that a statute equivalent to section 5142
applies in that jurisdiction. The credit, for any of the
specified taxing jurisdictions, may not exceed the proportion of
the tax otherwise due under this Part, excluding the tax imposed
by section 5203-A 5203-C, that the amount of the taxpayer's Maine
adjusted gross income derived from sources in that taxing
jurisdiction bears to the taxpayer's entire Maine adjusted gross
income; except that, when a credit is claimed for taxes paid to
both a state and a political subdivision of a state, the total
credit allowable for those taxes does not exceed the proportion
of the tax otherwise due under this Part, excluding the tax
imposed by section 5203-A 5203-C, that the amount of the
taxpayer's Maine adjusted gross income derived from sources in
the other state bears to the taxpayer's entire Maine adjusted
gross income.
