Oregon Payroll

Did you know that the state of California allows Oregon residents who perform services in California to take a credit toward their California income tax liability for taxes paid to their home state?

Oregon Income Tax Withholding

Employers in or doing business in Oregon must withhold tax from all wages paid to Oregon residents for service performed both within and without the state and from wages paid to nonresidents for service within Oregon.

Employers located outside Oregon are not required to withhold Oregon tax, even from Oregon residents. However, such employers are requested to withhold Oregon tax as a convenience to Oregon residents.
