OPEGA report skepticalon BETR and BETEprogram benefitsReport fails to understand the

purpose of both programs

The enactment of the BusinessEquipment Tax Reimbursement (BETR)and Business Equipment Tax Exemption(BETE) programs are perhaps, two of themost important tax programs the MaineLegislature has enacted for capital inten-sive industries. The BETR program wasenacted in 1995 and reimbursed dollar-for-dollar personal property taxes paid on qual-ified business equipment placed in serviceafter April 1, 1995. The BETE programwas enacted in 2006 and exempts qualifiedeligible equipment from personal propertytax but reimburses municipalities for a por-tion of the lost property tax revenues.

On Friday, February 14, theGovernment Oversight Committee (GOC)heard a report back from analysts at theOffice of Program Evaluation andGovernment Accountability (OPEGA) onthe effectiveness of the program, and whostated that in their analysis, while the pro-grams lower the cost of owning a businessequipment, they have limited influence oncapital investment decisions. The MaineState Chamber feels this is far from accurate.

On Wednesday, February 19, theTaxation committee voted along partylines (7-4) “ought to pass as amended” onLD 403, An Act to Prevent Tax HavenAbuse, sponsored by the committeecochair, Rep. Ryan Tipping (D-Orono). Inaddition to Rep. Tipping, committeecochair Sen. Benjamin Chipman (D-Cumberland), and Rep. Ann Matlack (D-St. George), Rep. Diane Denk (D-Kennebunk), Rep. Stephen Stanley (D-Medway), Rep. Maureen Terry (D-Gorham), and Rep. Kristen Cloutier (D-Lewiston) all voted in favor of the bill asamended. Sen. Matthew Pouliot (R-Kennebec), Rep. Bruce A. Bickford (R-Auburn), Rep. Donald G. Marean (R-Hollis), and Rep. Theodore Joseph KryzakJr. (R-Acton) voted ought-not-to-pass.

The Maine State Chamber testifiedagainst the bill last week. As amended, thebill would strip out the Foreign DerivedIntangible Income (FDII) deduction. Thiswould result in an income tax increase onMaine’s manufacturers that export outsidethe United States. FDII is one of two pro-visions enacted by Congress in the TaxCuts and Jobs Act legislation from 2017.The act was intended to update the nation’stax policies to make the taxation systemcompetitive with the rest of the world andto also incentivize companies to makeinvestments within the United States.Among its most notable provisions,intended to make the United States a com-petitive place for investment, was thealignment of the U.S. corporate tax ratewith the average tax rate of the world’s 30largest economies.

Less noted by the public due its com-plexity, but equally important, were pro-visions within the law that intended toincrease incentives for U.S. investment.These provisions utilized a “carrot and astick” approach and are referred to asFDII (Foreign Derived Intangible Income)and GILTI (Global Intangible Low TaxedIncome). They are intended by the legis-lation to work hand-in-glove with oneanother, and both have to do with theincome that is generated on sales to cus-tomers located outside the United States.

FDII – the carrot – benefits companieslocated in the United States where incomeis recognized on their U.S. tax return thatis the resultant of a non-U.S. sale. Thegreater the income that is subject to U.S.taxation, the greater the FDII benefit. Andbecause more income is recognized in theU.S., if manufacturing and R&D occurswithin the U.S., the provision encouragesU.S. investment in these activities.

GILTI – the stick – harms companiesthat make that same international sale, ifthey recognize that income outside theU.S. Prior to this tax reform, this incomewould not have been taxable in the U.S.,unless the cash portion of those profitswere actually repatriated to the U.S.,which practically rarely happened. WithGILTI, the U.S. imposes immediate taxa-tion on those international profits, whichare generated by having the manufacturingand R&D occur outside the U.S., regard-less of whether the income is repatriated.

Because these two calculations and

About the Maine State Chamber ofCommerce: Since 1889, the Maine State Chamberhas been fighting to lower your cost of doing business.Through our Grassroots Action Network and OneVoiceprogram, we work with a network of approximately 5,000companies statewide who see the value in such a serviceand provide the financial support that keeps our access,advocacy, and assistance efforts going strong. AsMaine's Chamber, we make sure that the business envi-ronment of the state continues to thrive. The Maine StateChamber of Commerce advocates on behalf of their inter-ests before the legislature and regulatory agencies andthrough conferences, seminars, and affiliated programs.

porter of the BETR and BETE programs,businesses have not been its sole benefi-ciaries. Maine workers and Maine jobshave also benefitted. Both the BETR andBETE programs have been an importantinvestment in Maine’s economic futurethat has helped retain Maine jobs, whileallowing Maine business to remain com-petitive in the global economy in whichthey must operate and compete in order toremain viable and successful.

The Legislature enacted the BETR pro-gram in 1995 to help put Maine businesses ona level playing field with other states that eitherdid not tax personal property at all or did so atmuch lower rates. Enactment of the BETEprogram followed in 2006. The enactment ofBETR and BETE followed recommendationsby the Legislature – the 1990 report of theSelect Commission of Comprehensive TaxReform; the 1993 report of the MaineEconomic Growth Council; the 1995 report ofthe Commission to Study the Future ofMaine’s Paper Industry;; “Maine’s InvestmentImperative” by former State Economist LaurieLaChance (2002); “Economic DevelopmentPrograms in Maine” by Jonathan Speros ofWaterhouse Coopers (2002); “How to RetainMaine Businesses” (November 2001), whichwas funded by the Maine DECD and the U.S.Economic Development Administration; the“Final Report of the Governor’s Council onSustainability of the Forest Products Industry”(2005); and, the “Maine Future ForestEconomy Project” (2005) by the Maine ForestService and the Maine Technology Institute.

Each report recommended the elimina-tion of the personal property tax. And whynot? Time and again these taxes were cited byMaine businesses as a disincentive to investhere, to create jobs here, and to keep compa-nies here. In the Northeast region alone, per-sonal property is not taxed in New Hampshire,Massachusetts, Rhode Island (local option),New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware,Vermont (local option), and NewJersey. Many of those states are our directcompetitors regionally, nationally, and global-

ly. In addition, BETR only applies to taxespaid on equipment placed in service after April1, 1995. There are still personal propertyinvestments made prior to 1995 that continueto be taxed by local municipalities today.

Former State Economist and currentThomas College President Laurie Lachancecited in her white paper titled “Maine’sInvestment Imperative” that, about the sametime the BETR program was enacted in1995, Maine’s industrial sector showed theproductivity of industrial workers tripledand continued to accelerate. To achieve suchacceleration, she said, “a spate of invest-ment had to have taken place.”

Throughout the years, the legislature’sTaxation and Appropriations committeeshave heard countless businesses testify as tothe effectiveness of BETR and BETE in jobretention and helping Maine business attractthe necessary capital to keep competitive. Insome cases, jobs have been created, butmore importantly, jobs have stayed here inMaine. As a state, we have been able to bemore competitive. Companies that receiveBETR and BETE provide thousands ofdirect paying jobs but also a multitude ofindirect jobs that depend on these industriesfor their communities and families’ liveli-hoods. Combined, these companies spendtens of millions of dollars on goods and ser-vices in Maine, contributing directly toMaine’s regional and statewide economies.

Maine cannot afford to lose any invest-ment to another state, and we cannot affordto lose the opportunity to compete for anyinvestments to another state. Failure tooperate on a level playing field with otherstate translates into lost investments andlost jobs – it’s that simple. That stability iswhat BETR has provided and will continueto provide for Maine and our people. Wehope that the entire legislature will see thiswhen the reports results are shared.

The GOC is holding a public hearingon the report at 9:00 a.m. on Friday,February 28 in the Cross Building at theState House Room 220. If you have anyquestions, please contact Linda Caprara bycalling (207) 623-4568, ext. 106, or byemailing [email protected]. r

Labor committee hears“Ban the Box” proposal, which wouldbar employers fromasking about criminal convictions on job applications

In a public hearing on Wednesday,February 19, 2020, the Joint StandingCommittee on Labor and Housing held apublic hearing on LD 2087, An ActRelating to Fair Chance in Employment,”sponsored by Rep. Rachel Talbot Ross(D-Portland). More than a dozen stateshave enacted similar laws – the purpose ofwhich is to encourage the hiring of peoplewith a criminal record. Rep. Talbot Rosshas had similar, but more disconcertingproposals in past sessions. This year, shetook a more pragmatic approach, limitingher bill just to prohibiting employers fromasking about a prospective employee’sprevious criminal convictions on any writ-ten or electronic job application.

As drafted, LD 2087 does allow anemployer to ask such questions during thejob interview and to conduct criminalbackground checks. In addition, it doesnot make people with a previous criminalhistory a protected class for the purposesof hiring and does allow an employer todecline to hire the individual for that orany reason, other than those already pro-hibited under Maine and federal law.

The idea behind the proposal is togive good workers who have rehabilitatedthemselves and are willing and able towork a chance to get into the interviewprocess without being disqualified justbecause of their criminal history. ManyMaine employers today are already hiringapplicants with a previous criminal histo-ry, in part because of the acute workforceshortage and in part because they arewilling to take a chance on someone whois working to rebuild their lives for thebetter. In many cases, our members indi-cated that these hires have worked out forthe better for both parties. Supporters of

the proposal indicated that, if a prospec-tive hire can at least get through the door,they have the chance to sell themselvesand become an asset to the business.

The bill does provide exemptions foremployers who operate under any federalor state law or regulation or rule that cre-ates a mandatory or presumptive disqual-ification based on any conviction, forinstance the banking or financial industryand the health care industry.

The Maine State Chamber testified“neither for nor against” at the publichearing for this bill. Our policy committeemembers did not have an issue droppingthe question from any job application – aslong as they were able to ask the questionduring an interview, could conduct a crim-inal background check, and the final deci-sion of hiring any employee remained inthe hands of the employer, allowing themto be the best judge of whether a prospec-tive employee, with a criminal past or not,was the best fit for their workplace.

The proposal was by no means a per-fect bill, and there remain problems withsome of the provisions in the language.The committee is aware of these prob-lems – thanks to the Maine StateChamber’s testimony – and will attemptto address them in an upcoming work ses-sion. For questions or additional informa-tion, please contact Peter Gore by calling(207) 623-4568, ext. 107, or by [email protected]. r

Governor Mills announces joint effort to phase down climate super-pollutant

Governor Janet Mills announced this week that Maine, along with Massachusetts andRhode Island, is spearheading an effort to phase down the use of hydrofluorocarbons(HFCs), a potent greenhouse gas and a driver of climate change. These synthetic gasesare most often used as a refrigerant in appliances and are known as “climate super-pollu-tants,” with hundreds to thousands of times the heat-trapping power of carbon dioxide.Governor Mills submitted legislation that directs the Maine Department of EnvironmentalProtection to limit the use HFCs where safer alternatives are available. Massachusetts andRhode Island announced their intention to begin rulemaking to accomplish the same.

HFCs are the fastest growing source of greenhouse gas emissions both nation-ally and globally, and if left unchecked, could double within 20 years. Just onepound of R-404A, an HFC refrigerant used in supermarkets, has the same climateimpact over 100 years as almost two tons of CO₂.

The legislation proposed by Governor Mills, An Act to Restrict the Use ofHydrofluorocarbons, directs the Department of Environmental Protection to do rulemakingthat establishes a reasonable and orderly transition to products and equipment that use climate-friendly alternative to HFCs, where alternatives are available, and sets a time-table for thattransition, beginning in 2021. The expected rules will be consistent with those being developedby Massachusetts and Rhode Island, as well as other United States Climate Alliance states.

Governor Mills’ bipartisan bill was sponsored by Representative Ralph Tucker(D-Brunswick), Chairman of the Environment and Natural Resources Committee,and co-sponsored by a bipartisan coalition of lawmakers in the Maine House andSenate, including Senator Robert Foley (R-York), the Republican Senate lead on theLegislature’s Joint Committee on Environment and Natural Resources. r

Taxation committee tables service provider tax billChamber opposes department bill that proposes new tax

On Tuesday, February 11, the Joint Standing Committee on Taxation tabled LD 2011,An Act to Update Certain Provisions in the Income Tax and Service Provider Tax Laws, adepartment bill sponsored by Rep. Ryan Tipping (D-Orono). Linda Caprara testified onbehalf of the Maine State Chamber in opposition to the bill the week before because it wouldimpose a new tax on users of streaming services transferred for less than permanent use.

Currently, the State imposes a sales-and-use tax on digital products transferredelectronically for permanent download. Digital services that are just streamed fortemporary use are not currently subject to sale and use tax. This bill would codifydifferent treatment for these two types of transactions: one would be subject to 5.5%sales tax; while the other would be subject to 6% service provider tax. In addition,as drafted, it is not clear on whom that tax falls.

The Maine State Chamber testified that, in the event the committee decides to goforward with the legislation, the bill should be amended to provide a clear definitionof the term “digital audio visual” and “digital audio services.” By adding the defini-tion, it would clarify that the tax applies only once to the “end user,” not to addi-tional service provider contractual relationships along the way. At Tuesday’s worksession, Maine Revenue Services said they did not object to the amendment. Withoutthis clarification, the bill would provide a lack of transparency of the tax base andresult in multiple layers of tax. Again, the amendment would clarify that the taxapplies once and would prevent so-called double taxation of the same service.

The next work session on LD 2011 has not yet been scheduled. If you have anyquestions, please contact Linda Caprara by calling (207) 623-4568, ext. 106, or byemailing [email protected]. r



Secretary of Statespeaks on issues that could confuse primary voters

It will be the first time in 20 years thatMaine Democrats and Republicans willvote in a presidential primary instead of acaucus, called Super Tuesday. Twelvecandidates will appear on the Democraticballot, including several who have alreadyended their campaigns. At polling placeson election day, the names of those whohave withdrawn from the election will beposted, and votes for them will be countedas blanks. On the Republican ballot,President Trump is the only candidate.

In Maine, Secretary of State MattDunlap oversees elections. Earlier in theweek Secretary Dunlap acknowledged thatsome voters might be surprised to discov-er that the primary ballot does not useranked-choice voting. When the ranked-choice voting referendum was adopted bythe voters in 2016, it didn’t include thepresidential races. It was only state andfederal races. The legislature had to takeseparate action to include the presidentialprimary and the general election inranked-choice voting. When they did so,they adopted ranked-choice voting for thepresidential primary and for the presiden-tial general election. Governor Janet Millsallowed it to become law without her sig-nature, and the technical outcome of thatwas that it doesn’t take effect until 90 daysafter the adjournment of the current leg-islative session. Therefore, Maine won’tuse it for the March 3 primary, becausethere is actually a pending People’s Vetoapplication. There is a group circulatingpetitions to stop this — if that effort is notsuccessful, then Maine would see it for theNovember election.

Any eligible voter can vote in the pri-mary in this election cycle. However,there are a couple elements to consider. Ifyou are a registered Republican, and youwanted to vote in the Democratic prima-ry, it’s too late because there’s a 15-dayblackout period. If you’re an unenrolledvoter or you’re not registered to vote, youcan register, enroll on primary day, andvote in one of the primaries. r

Legislature hears State of the National Guardspeech from Major General Douglas Farnham

On Tuesday, February 18, Major General Douglas Farnham used his annual state

of the National Guard speech to lawmakers to praise past and current members of the

Guard and its predecessor, the Maine Militia. Farnham spoke highly of several current

Guard members who have contributed to the state and nation, including Master

Sergeant Rick Martell of the Air Guard, who volunteered past his 60th birthday to con-

tinue to serve on air refueling tankers. Farnham pointed out that Joshua Chamberlain

was not only a civil war hero but also led the Maine militia to respond to state prob-

lems. Also of note, 11 percent of Mainers have served in the military, one of the high-

est percentages in the nation. r
