(Portland, OR) -- Portland City Council will consider a proposal today to change the Arts Tax. Currently, the 35 dollar tax is applied to anyone making over one-thousand-dollars a year. It hasn't changed since 2012. The proposed changes would increase the tax to 50 dollars and make it apply to single filers making over 20-thousand dollars and joint filers making over 40-thousand dollars. The tax would increase each year based on inflation.
