What if your internet packets go through Maine? Is there a sales tax on that?

Good question. Hopefully, they don't figure it out, or they will probably tax that too.

Personally, I know mine doesn't go through Maine because I'm on wireless.

Actually, I think that this is related to Internet purchases that arrive in ME without paying the sales tax.

I am astounded that they have extended it to private airplanes, but they probably did it because many legislature members owned private planes and they knew how to track them.

I do wonder how many exceptions are built into the law, as the “classified 135 operator”.

My guess is that there are many personal exemptions for certain members of the public, who happen to be friends of said legislature.
