As every NH home owner knows, our despised imaginary NH non-existent 5% sales tax is automatically built into our property tax, like an imaginary fourth bedroom that you don't actually have, but are assessed as if you did.
Plus your NH state and local property tax up to $10,000 is deductible off your federal taxable income. If you have too high an assessment then you should sell off your highly assessed house and go live in the three car garage! .....
Therefore, if the State of Maine had no sales tax then beautiful, clean, clear Lake Sebago would now be totally iced over! ....
