Oregon falls mostly in middle of the pack in national tax rankings

Category: Tax Freedom, Uncategorized

When it comes to taxes, personal and corporate, where does Oregon rank nationally? About middlin' according to a new report by the Tax Foundation, which tracks such matters.

Oregon's "tax freedom day" -- the date by which average wage-earners have made enough to pay their tax bills -- falls on April 8, ranking it 23rd earliest among the 50 states. As for overall state and local tax burden, Oregon falls smack dab in the middle at 25th.

For obvious reasons, Oregon ranks highest on personal income taxes and lowest on sales taxes. It ranks relatively low for corporate taxes. In overall "business climate" rankings, Oregon comes in 13th, according to the report.

The report has a pretty complete breakdown of taxes around the nation, from gas, to cigarette to the usual suspects of income, property and sales. How those statistics end up being used -- well, we'll wait to see.
