SALEM-Even though current economic conditions may pose new challenges to businesses, the Department of Revenue reminds employers: Don't be tempted to change your payroll practices. Employers must continue to pay employee wages. They also must continue to send the business' quarterly tax withholding payments to the department. Under Oregon law business owners can be held personally responsible for paying withholding tax, regardless of the type of business ownership. If your business receives a withholding past-due notice from the department, call the number on it immediately. "We're here to help employers meet their tax obligations during these difficult times," said Larry Warren, Business Collection Services manager. If your business hasn't made a required withholding deposit during the current quarter, call 503-945-8091. For more information, visit www.oregon.gov/DOR/BUS/ and click "Payroll Tax Basics." |
