Withholding: Payment Due Dates
(1)
Oregon withholding tax payment due dates are determined by corresponding federal due dates as outlined in the following rules:(2)
Lookback period is the twelve-month period ended the preceding June 30 for nonagricultural employers. For agricultural employers the lookback period is the calendar year preceding the calendar year just ended.(3)
A legal holiday that falls between the end of the pay period and the payment due date extends the due date by one banking day.(4)
A banking day is any day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday. A legal holiday is a holiday in the District of Columbia.(5)
Federal tax is the sum of the federal withholding plus FICA plus Medicare taxes.(6)
ORS 316.197 (Payment to department by employer) establishes payment due dates only and does not incorporate the federal “safe harbor” rule for deposit shortfalls. If the full amount of the state tax withheld is not paid when the federal deposit is due the unpaid balance is delinquent.(7)
Payment due date examples:(a)
MONTHLY DEPOSITS: For employers whose total federal liability during the lookback period did not exceed $50,000. Lookback period is defined for 1998 as July 1, 1996 to June 30, 1997 (January 1, 1996 to December 31, 1996 for agricultural employers). [Table not included. See ED. NOTE.](b)
SEMI-WEEKLY DEPOSITS: For employers whose total federal liability during the lookback period exceeds $50,000. Lookback period is defined for 1998 as July 1, 1996 to June 30, 1997 (January 1, 1996 to December 31, 1996 for agricultural employers). [Table not included. See ED. NOTE.]
