Does oregon have sales tax?

[alenaghose]

I'm planning a trip to Oregon and was wondering—does the state have a sales tax on purchases? I'd like to understand if I should expect any additional charges when shopping there. Thanks for any info!

Oregon does not have a general state sales tax. As of 2020, the new corporate activity tax also started providing additional funding for K-12 education. The personal income tax is the largest source of state tax revenue, expected to account for 82% of the state's General Fund for the 2023–25 biennium.

Oregon does not levy a blanket state sales tax. By 2020, new corporate activity tax began funding more K-12 education as well. The biggest state tax revenue is the personal income tax, which in the recently passed 202325 biennium budget makes up 82% of the General Fund of the state.

No — Oregon does not have a state sales tax. Most purchases are tax-free, making it a popular shopping destination. However, residents still pay other taxes like income tax and certain local or specific-use taxes in some areas.

Oregon does not have a statewide general sales tax, making it one of only a few states with a 0% rate. However, certain local taxes may apply, such as a prepared food tax in some cities. The state also collects excise taxes on items like gasoline, alcohol, and tobacco.
