Oregon’s corporate tax measure is a big deal. Here’s why.

Oregonians face a big decision this fall, as they consider how to vote on a $3 billion corporate tax measure that could reshape the state’s finances and the future of government services.

Measure 97 would charge certain C corporations a 2.5 percent tax on their gross annual sales in Oregon above $25 million. State economists estimated the tax would raise at least $6 billion for every two-year spending cycle, a 33 percent increase in tax revenue from the state’s current $18 billion general fund budget.
