    June 22, 2020 Senate President Peter Courtney House Speaker Tina Kotek Oregon State Capitol 900 Court Street NE Salem, Oregon 97301 Sent via email Re: Statutory Corrections to the Corporate Activity Tax (H.B. 4009-A, 2020) Dear Senate President Courtney and House Speaker Kotek, On behalf of the Smart Growth Coalition and Council On State Taxation (C.O.S.T.), we are writing to express our continued concerns regarding statutory ambiguities complicating the implementation of the corporate activity tax (C.A.T.) and the crucial need for corrective legislation in the upcoming special session. To be clear, we are not asking for delaying the implementation or changing the structural design of the tax, but to enact clarifying amendments proposed during the 2020 session. While our organizations approached the enabling legislation differently, we are aligned in our commitment to working alongside the executive and legislative branches to ensure the C.A.T. functions as intended by the legislature. Through the development of the rules and regulations, however, it has become clear there are significant statutory ambiguities regarding the statutory subtraction, filing groups, and filing period. These provisions are inherently technical but represent the underpinnings required for every taxpayer to calculate the tax, and, thus, pose significant administrative and compliance obstacles without clarification. During the 2020 session, we worked closely with a technical working group to identify and recommend corrective measures to simplify the administrative and compliance burdens. Together with the Oregon Department of Revenue (“Department”) and Legislative Revenue Office, we agreed to a series of statutory corrections designed to resolve the known ambiguities.

  • S/L Sign on Letter Re: Rescue Plan State/Local
    February 17, 2021 U.S. House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20515 U.S. Senate Washington, D.C. 20510 Dear Members of Congress: As elected leaders representing communities across our nation, we are writing to urge you to take immediate action on comprehensive coronavirus relief legislation, including desperately needed funding for states, counties, cities, and schools, and an increase in states’ federal medical assistance percentage (FMAP). President Biden’s ambitious $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan will go a long way towards alleviating the significant financial strain COVID-19 has placed on our states, counties, cities, and schools, and the pocketbooks of working families. Working people have been on the frontlines of this pandemic for nearly a year and have continued to do their jobs during this difficult time. Dedicated public servants are still leaving their homes to ensure Americans continue to receive the essential services they rely upon: teachers and education workers are doing their best to provide quality education and keep their students safe, janitors are still keeping parks and public buildings clean, while healthcare providers are continuing to care for the sick. Meanwhile, it has been ten months since Congress passed the CARES Act Coronavirus Relief Fund to support these frontline workers and the essential services they provide. Without significant economic assistance from the federal government, many of these currently-middle class working families are at risk of falling into poverty through no fault of their own. It is a painful irony that while many have rightly called these essential workers heroes, our country has failed to truly respect them with a promise to protect them and pay them throughout the crisis.
