Answer 1

The business must pay income tax on its profits. It must withhold and remit payroll taxes for employees, including federal income tax withholding, Social Security and Medicare (FICA), and federal unemployment tax (FUTA) if applicable. Oregon does not have a general sales tax. However, the business may owe Oregon’s Corporate Activity Tax (CAT) if its gross receipts exceed the threshold. The business must also register for Oregon withholding and meet other employer obligations. Local city and county taxes and business license fees vary by municipality; some cities require business registration or charge gross-receipts taxes. Employers must file required federal and state returns, such as quarterly payroll filings and annual returns. Employers must also pay the employer portion of payroll taxes and unemployment insurance.
