OAR 845-008-0070
Export Exemption


ORS 473.050 (When privilege tax not imposed)(2) provides that no tax shall be levied, collected or imposed upon any wine exported from the state. This rule explains the criteria to qualify for this export exemption.

(1)

The export exemption can be used to recover taxes already paid to the Commission or to offset a current tax liability.

(2)

A winery may claim the export exemption for wine that it removes from federal bond and exports from the state. The exemption may be taken at the time of removal if the winery intends in good faith to export the wine. Wine qualifies as being exported if the wine is, or is expected to be, transported to a location outside of Oregon. All export exemptions must be supported by proof of export such as a bill of lading or other shipping documentation.

(3)

Wine that is claimed as exempt under the small winery exemption may not be claimed as exempt from tax under the export exemption.

(4)

A winery may claim a refund for wine on which tax was paid to the Commission in a prior period if the wine is subsequently exported from the state. No refund will be issued if no tax was paid by the winery to the Commission on the wine being exported. No refund may be claimed on wine that was previously exempted from tax.
