The new OR STT, effective on all paychecks issued on or after July 1, 2018, is deducted from employee wages at a rate of 0.1% on all Oregon Wages.
Payment for the STT tax is made quarterly with a payment voucher and an annual reconciliation report is due each January for the year just ended. Both will be included in the Print & Mail Reports once they have been approved by Oregon for submission.
