What Portland Business Owners Face

State Tax Overview

High-tax state. Top rate 9.9%. No sales tax but high income taxes. Strong optimization demand.

High SALT Burden
Local Business Taxes

Portland/Multnomah County levy additional local income taxes: Metro Supportive Housing tax (1% on taxable income over $125K/$200K joint) and Multnomah County Preschool for All (1.5%-3% on high earners). Significant local burden.

Portland Client Example

A Portland tech company doing $2.8M in revenue was paying the full Metro and Multnomah surtaxes with no mitigation. After PTET election, entity restructuring, and R&D credits, they saved $76,000 in year one.
