Withholding the Multnomah County Personal Income
Tax for your employees is a great service. It provides employees with
the security of knowing they will not have a surprise tax bill at
the end of the year. Also, employer withholding ensures the funds
reach their intended destinations as soon as possible: schools, health
and safety services.
Tax year 2005 is the last year of the Multnomah County
Income Tax.
Employer reminders for the final year of the tax:
Any tax withheld from employees' wages for the
quarter ending December 31, 2005 must be remitted to the ITAX Administration
by January 31, 2006.
Starting January 1, 2006, employers should not
withhold any ITAX from employees' wages.
Annual Withholding Tax Reconciliation Reports
and Employee Withholding Schedules for tax year 2005 (Form MCWR
2005) are due no later than March 31, 2006.
