Taxable in Another State; When a Taxpayer is “Subject To” Tax Under ORS 314.620(1)
(1)
A taxpayer is “subject to” one of the taxes specified in ORS 314.620 (When taxpayer is considered taxable in another state)(1) only if it carries on business activity in such state and such state imposes such a tax thereon. Any taxpayer which asserts that it is subject to one of the taxes specified in ORS 314.620 (When taxpayer is considered taxable in another state)(1) in another state shall furnish to the Department upon its request evidence to support such assertion. The Department may request that such evidence include proof that the taxpayer has filed the requisite tax return in such other state and has paid any taxes imposed under the law of such other state; the taxpayer’s failure to produce such proof may be taken into account in determining whether the taxpayer in fact is subject to one of the taxes specified in ORS 314.620 (When taxpayer is considered taxable in another state)(1) in such other state. If the taxpayer voluntarily files and pays one or more of such taxes when not required to do so by the laws of that state or pays a minimal fee for qualification, organization or for the privilege of doing business in that state, but (a) does not actually engage in business activity in that state, or (b) does actually engage in some business activity, not sufficient for nexus, and the minimum tax bears no relation to the taxpayer’s business activity within such state, the taxpayer is not “subject to” one of the taxes specified within the meaning of ORS 314.620 (When taxpayer is considered taxable in another state)(1).(2)
The concept of taxability in another state is based upon the promise that every state in which the taxpayer is engaged in business activity may impose an income tax even though every state does not do so. In states which do not, other types of taxes may be imposed as a substitute for an income tax. Therefore, only those taxes enumerated in ORS 314.620 (When taxpayer is considered taxable in another state)(1) which may be considered as basically revenue raising rather than regulatory measures shall be considered in determining whether the taxpayer is “subject to” one of the taxes specified in ORS 314.620 (When taxpayer is considered taxable in another state)(1) in another state.
