New Statewide Transit Tax

Stacked silver coins next to a sign labeled TAX on a wood surface with an arrow pointing toward the tax label.

As a result of the 2017 legislative session, effective July 1, 2018, all employers in Oregon are required to withhold, report and remit one-tenth of one percent (.001%) of wages paid to their employees to the Department of Revenue. The term “employee” is defined as those who are residents and those non-residents performing services within Oregon.

The Department of Revenue will automatically set up a “statewide transit tax account” in Revenue Online. This will appear to all employers prior to the end of the 3rd quarter of the 2018 tax year.

You can find additional information on the statewide transit tax at www.oregon.gov/dor/business. If you have further questions, do not hesitate to contact my office for assistance.
