Oregon Department of Revenue Says They Are Changing Tax Tables Because It’s Time

The Oregon Department of Revenue is disputing claims that the state is trying to balance the budget by taking more out of your paycheck.   A spokesman admits the State is changing the tables to allow for more tax to be withheld: “Over the last year or two, we have had people who contacted their lawmakers complaining that they have had to write a check at the end of the year because they have not had enough withheld during the year.” Derrick Gasperini of the Oregon Department of Revenue says the tables have not been changed since 2007, and several tax law changes have occurred since then.   Gasperini stresses that the increasing withholding is not an attempt to balance the state budget.
