House Bill 3082, enacted by the 2009 Legislature, authorizes us to conduct a tax compliance pilot program with three state licensing boards.
 
Under HB 3082, compliance with individual income tax laws is a condition of license renewal.

Any state agency, board, or commission that participates in the pilot project may suspend, revoke, or refuse to renew a license if we determine that the licensee isn’t in tax compliance. If you’re not in compliance, it means you owe state taxes or must file past tax return(s).
 
We’ll present a final report to the Legislature in January 2011.
 
House Bill 3082 (2009) Licensee Tax Compliance Pilot Project
 
Participating boards are:

• Oregon Mortuary and Cemetery Board (Preneed salespersons)
• Oregon Board of Tax Practitioners (Licensed tax consultants and licensed tax preparers)
• Construction Contractors Board (sole proprietor residential limited contractors and limited contractors)

 

We’re working with three other boards to let their licensees know about their tax compliance responsibilities. For licensees of these boards, tax compliance status is not a condition of license renewal at this time.
