Payroll & Self-Employment Tax Information
Payroll and Self-Employment Taxes
Payroll and self-employment taxes, which provide revenue for mass transit in Oregon and elsewhere, are administered and collected by the Oregon Department of Revenue (DOR). This revenue is a key source of funding from Lane Transit District (LTD) and supports its operating budget.
The payroll and self-employment tax rates are a percentage of the wages paid by an employer and the net earnings from self-employment for services performed within the Lane Transit District boundary. For the current rate, see the rate table at the bottom of this page.
