GENERAL PROVISIONS
316.002
Short title. This chapter may be cited as the Personal Income Tax Act of
1969. [1969 c.493 §1; 1995 c.79 §164]
316.003
Goals. (1) The goals of the Legislative Assembly are to achieve for
Oregon’s citizens a tax system which recognizes:
(a) Fairness and equity as its basic values; and
(b) That the total tax system should use seven guiding principles as measures by which to evaluate tax proposals.
(2) Those guiding principles are:
(a) Ability to pay;
(b) Fairness;
(c) Efficiency;
(d) Even distribution;
(e) The tax system should be equitable where the minimum aspects of a fair system are:
(A) That it shields genuine subsistence income from taxation;
(B) That it is not regressive; and
(C) That it imposes approximately the same tax burden on all households earning the same income;
(f) Adequacy; and
(g) Flexibility.
(3) To meet those goals of Oregon’s tax system, any tax must be considered in conjunction with the effects of all other taxes on Oregonians. [1991 c.457 §1a]
Note:
316.003 was enacted into law by the Legislative Assembly but was not added to
or made a part of ORS chapter 316 or any series therein by legislative action.
See Preface to Oregon Revised Statutes for further explanation.
316.005
[1953 c.304 §1; repealed by 1969 c.493 §99]
316.007
Policy. It is the intent of the Legislative Assembly, by the adoption of
this chapter, insofar as possible, to:
(1) Make the Oregon personal income tax law identical in effect to the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code relating to the measurement of taxable income of individuals, estates and trusts, modified as necessary by the state’s jurisdiction to tax and the revenue needs of the state;
(2) Achieve this result by the application of the various provisions of the Internal Revenue Code relating to the definition of income, exceptions and exclusions therefrom, deductions (business and personal), accounting methods, taxation of trusts, estates and partnerships, basis, depreciation and other pertinent provisions relating to gross income as defined therein, modified as provided in this chapter, resulting in a final amount called “taxable income”; and
(3) Impose a tax on residents of this state measured by taxable income wherever derived and to impose a tax on the income of nonresidents that is ascribable to sources within this state. [1969 c.493 §2; 1971 s.s. c.4 §1; 1987 c.293 §1; 1989 c.625 §1; 2003 c.46 §34]
316.010
[1953 c.304 §2; 1953 c.552 §1; repealed by 1969 c.493 §99]
316.012
Terms have same meaning as in federal laws; federal law references. Any
term used in this chapter has the same meaning as when used in a comparable
context in the laws of the United States relating to federal income taxes,
unless a different meaning is clearly required or the term is specifically
defined in this chapter. Except where the Legislative Assembly has provided
otherwise, any reference in this chapter to the laws of the United States or to
the Internal Revenue Code refers to the laws of the United States or to the
Internal Revenue Code as they are amended and in effect:
(1) On December 31, 2004; or
(2) If related to the definition of taxable income, as applicable to the tax year of the taxpayer. [1969 c.493 §3; 1971 s.s. c.4 §2; 1975 c.672 §3; 1983 c.162 §59; 1985 c.802 §1; 1987 c.293 §2; 1989 c.625 §2; 1991 c.457 §1; 1993 c.726 §27; 1995 c.556 §1; 1997 c.839 §1; 1999 c.224 §7; 2001 c.660 §35; 2003 c.77 §14; 2005 c.519 §9; 2005 c.832 §27]

be in effect for the tax year of the taxpayer without any of the additions,
subtractions or other modifications or adjustments required under this chapter

c.802 §3a; 1999 c.580 §3]
316.014

contained in the Internal Revenue Code as it applies to the tax year for which
the return is filed and shall not be adjusted for any changes or modifications
contained in this chapter or by the case law of this state.
(2) In the case of a nonresident, the net operating loss deduction, net operating loss carryback and net operating loss carryforward shall be that described in subsection (1) of this section which is attributable to Oregon sources.
(3) If any provision in ORS 316.047 or 316.127 appears to require an adjustment to a net operating loss, net operating loss carryback or net operating loss carryforward contrary to the provisions of this section, that adjustment shall not be made. [1985 c.802 §18; 1997 c.839 §2; 2003 c.77 §15]

(B) The rate applicable to any rate bracket as adjusted under subparagraph (A) of this paragraph shall not be changed.
(C) The amounts setting forth the tax, to the extent necessary to reflect the adjustments in the rate brackets, shall be adjusted.
(c) For purposes of paragraph (b) of this subsection, the cost-of-living adjustment for any calendar year is the percentage (if any) by which the monthly averaged U.S. City Average Consumer Price Index for the 12 consecutive months ending August 31 of the prior calendar year exceeds the monthly averaged index for the second quarter of the calendar year 1992.
(d) As used in this subsection, “U.S. City Average Consumer Price Index” means the U.S. City Average Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (All Items) as published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Department of Labor.
(e) If any increase determined under paragraph (b) of this subsection is not a multiple of $50, the increase shall be rounded to the next lower multiple of $50.
(2) A tax is imposed for each taxable year upon the entire taxable income of every part-year resident of this state. The amount of the tax shall be computed under subsection (1) of this section as if the part-year resident were a full-year resident and shall be multiplied by the ratio provided under ORS 316.117 to determine the tax on income derived from sources within this state.
(3) A tax is imposed for each taxable year on the taxable income of every full-year nonresident that is derived from sources within this state. The amount of the tax shall be determined in accordance with the table set forth in subsection (1) of this section.

(b) “Section 1231 gain” has the meaning given that term in section 1231 of the Internal Revenue Code.
(2) Notwithstanding ORS 316.037, taxable income that consists of net long-term capital gain shall be subject to tax under this chapter at a rate of five percent if all of the following conditions apply:
(a) The gain is:
(A) Derived from the sale or exchange of capital assets consisting of ownership interests in a corporation, partnership or other entity in which, prior to the sale or exchange, the taxpayer owned at least a 10 percent ownership interest; or
(B) Section 1231 gain.

(b) Compute the net capital gain or loss from the sale or exchange of all other property during the tax year.
(c) If the amount determined under paragraph (b) of this subsection is a net capital gain, the gain that is subject to tax under subsection (2) of this section shall be the amount determined under paragraph (a) of this subsection.
(d) If the amount determined under paragraph (b) of this subsection is a net capital loss, the gain that is subject to tax under subsection (2) of this section shall be the amount determined under paragraph (a) of this subsection minus the amount determined under paragraph (b) of this subsection.

316.047 Transitional
provision to prevent doubling income or deductions. If any provision of the
Internal Revenue Code or of this chapter requires that any amount be added to
or deducted from federal gross income or the net income taxable under this
chapter that previously had been added to or deducted from net income taxable
under the Oregon law in effect prior to the taxpayer’s taxable year as to which
this chapter is first effective, then, in such event, appropriate adjustment
shall be made to the net income for the year or years subject to this chapter
so as to prohibit the double taxation or the double deduction of any such
amount that previously had entered into the computation of taxable income.
Differences such as the difference in basis of property used by the taxpayer
for federal and Oregon income tax returns and on account of the treatment of
operating losses shall be resolved by application of this principle. However,
the Department of Revenue, in its audit of a return, shall not apply any
adjustment under this section which, in its opinion, if applied would result in
an increase or decrease of tax liability of less than $25. [1969 c.493 §13;
1987 c.293 §8]
