Voters approved an increase in the minimum excise tax paid by every business from $10 each year to $150, a 1500% increase.\u00a0 Excise tax rates were also increased for all gross revenue classes.\u00a0 They also raised the corporate income tax from 6.6% to 7.9% on earnings over $250,000.<\/p>\n

If you are an Oregon resident who makes over $125,000, if you\u2019re single, or $250,000 if you file jointly, your income tax rate just increased from 9% to 10.8%.\u00a0 If you earn over $250,000 and are single or a joint filer of over $500,000 your rate increased from 9% to 11%.<\/p>\n

Real Estate professionals in Idaho, Texas or elsewhere where the disenfranchised Oregon and Washington achievers might move may find the Northwest a productive place to look, as well as California, for buyers of high end homes.\u00a0 Personally, I\u2019ve lived in Texas before and don\u2019t rule it out in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
