What's Taxed?
Oregon's No Sales Tax Policy
Complete Sales Tax Freedom
Oregon has no state sales tax and prohibits local governments from imposing sales taxes. This makes Oregon truly tax-free for all consumer purchases throughout the state.
Important: Unlike Alaska (which allows local sales taxes), Oregon prohibits all sales taxes at every level of government. The price you see is always the final price you pay.
Border Shopping: Oregon's location makes it attractive for shoppers from Washington (6.5% state tax + local) and California (7.25% state tax + local).
Alternative Revenue Sources
Without sales tax, Oregon relies on other revenue sources
- ★Income Tax: Progressive rates from 4.75% to 9.9% (among the highest in the nation)
- ★Property Taxes: Primary source of local government funding
- ★Corporate Taxes: Business income and excise taxes
Trade-off: Oregon has high income taxes to compensate for the lack of sales tax revenue.
Oregon's History of Rejecting Sales Tax
Oregon has never had a general sales tax, and voters have repeatedly rejected attempts to implement one—nine times in total:
Most Recent Rejection (Measure 1)
Oregon voters rejected a 5% sales tax proposal designed to fund public schools. This was the ninth time Oregonians voted down a sales tax measure.
Governor Barbara Roberts' Proposal
Governor Barbara Roberts proposed a relatively modest 3.5% sales tax after facing a financial crisis related to property tax limitations. This proposal also failed.
Democratic Leaders' Sales Tax Plan
A sales tax proposal championed by Democratic leaders sought to limit regressivity through renter relief and rebates for low-income Oregonians, but it also lost by a large margin.
"It's just not in our DNA": Oregon legislators say the state will never have a sales tax. The consistent rejection of sales tax proposals demonstrates that Oregonians strongly oppose this form of taxation and prefer to rely on income and property taxes instead.
