Oregon business taxes now rank in middle of the pack, advocacy group says

Oregon’s business taxes, long among the nation’s lowest, have risen considerably over the past few years and now place the state near the middle of the pack, according to a prominent annual survey.

The Tax Foundation is a think tank that ranks state tax policies each year. The organization advocates for lower taxes and publishes its ranking as part of its campaign to push for more business-friendly tax policies, so it operates with a clear agenda.
