| 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. |
