One of the many taxes businesses have to pay is a tax on the equipment, supplies and professional libraries on hand at mid-night December 31. This tax is the same rate as real property tax. It is assessed by and paid to the County. Oregon’s report was due March 1st, Washington’s are due April 30th. This tax comes as a surprise to many business owners. If you have not filed in previous years and/or you have not received your 2010 report by early March for Oregon or early April for Washington, call your County to find out why you haven’t received it.
