Oregon's "Privilege Tax".

[Legs]

Traded in my 2008 Chevy pick up for a new 2018 GMC truck. Gotta keep up with the Jones's in the contracting business. As of the first of the year there is a new sales tax for new vehicles, that is .005 (half of one percent) of purchase price. Of course, this tax is levied against the dealership, whom passes it on to the purchaser. In my case over $200!
Kind of slick how the Oregon legislature did this one. Dealer charges you for the tax... not the State. Ferchrisakes! When will this state get their spending under control! Oh yes. Now I have to pay more income tax too, because the state doesn't want me to have a Trump Tax deduction. Bastards!

So they add the $200 to your contract, how much intrest will you pay on that $200 before the rig is paid for? Democrats love to tax folks, look up what the tax is on an RV now.

 

[Stomper]

Don't forget the "transit tax" that'll start being deducted from your paychecks in July.....

 

[Colts4me]

Oregon will do everything it can to get your tax cut Trump gave you, they don't want a middle class in oregon. Now that we are a sanctuary state we need to pay more taxes to keep it going. How will those folks vote on your gun rights?

 

[E4mafia]

Dont look up measure 101 in oregon and what/how/who it subsidizes....youll be even more pissed.

 

[cigars]

Geeze all we need is another Enron and all the progressives will wet their pants in delight.

I've only seen you at speed steel with a gun in your hands Meridian7750. You're so mild mannered then....

I would have told them to eat the 200 or I would go to anothet Chevy dealer.

The tax is at every dealer in Oregon, can't out run it.

 

[DONOTBUGME]

The tax is at every dealer in Oregon, can't out run it.

You tell them to take it off the price of the truck or one of their dealership fees. So the tax gets paid, but from the dealership's pocket and not yours.

 

[Caveman Jim]

Good luck with that....

 

[DONOTBUGME]

They will not walk away from the sell over 200. Especially on a 18 when the 19s are already coming on the lot. If they say no, go to the next dealership. Dealerships sales are down for the first time in 8 years.

Then go buy it in Washington and avoid their sales tax by waiving your State ID! Doubt they collect Oregon tax and send it over just like we don't charge washington residents sales tax. Find a way around it.

When I bought my new car last February I paid the "privilege tax" since it's passed through by the dealer. In reality it is a sales tax but the legislature didn't have the courage to call it that. The tax is on the dealer and it is for the "privilege" of being able to sell cars in the state of Oregon. Like all taxes it gets passed on to the consumer by business.

I asked the dealer why not just call it a sales tax on the sales invoice, he replied that the state prohibits them from doing so.

In case yall missed it on the news or social media, effective July 1 there is a new payroll tax in Oregon that employees will will pay. It is a transportation tax that is $ 1 per thousand dollars of wages. So if you make 50K, you pay an additional $ 50 in taxes this year. If you make $ 150K, then you pay $ 150.

The employer has to pay this tax with the quarterlies and withhold it. Thanks to you state azzholes for creating another tax and administrative function and line item that I now need to add to our payroll, plus send out an explanation with the next payroll run.

But hell, you all don't mind do you ?? After all it is for the roads.

 

[Caveman Jim]

Yeah it's not like they don't already have enough money to throw down a different toilet.
