Is SaaS taxable in Oregon?
The rule
Oregon treats SaaS as a nontaxable sale, since the state has no sales tax.
The main exception
Oregon's Corporate Activity Tax can still apply to businesses with more than $1 million of Oregon commercial activity, including SaaS revenue.
What to do
Check whether your Oregon commercial activity is large enough to require Corporate Activity Tax registration, even though no sales tax applies.
Is your product taxable in Oregon?
No. Oregon has no sales tax, so nothing you sell there is taxed, whether it is delivered online, downloaded or shipped, and however you write the invoice.
How are other software products and services taxed in Oregon?
SaaS rarely ships alone. This is how Oregon treats the products and charges that usually sit next to it on an invoice.
| Product or charge | Treatment |
|---|---|
| Downloaded software | Not taxable |
| Custom software | Not taxable |
| Cloud infrastructure and platforms (IaaS, PaaS) | Not taxable |
| AI tools and API access | Not taxable |
| Digital goods (e-books, music, video) | Not taxable |

Does Oregon tax B2B and B2C SaaS differently?
No. Oregon treats SaaS the same way for business and consumer buyers.
How much sales tax do you charge on SaaS in Oregon?
None. Oregon has no sales tax, so there is nothing to charge on SaaS or on anything else you sell into the state.
Do cities or counties tax SaaS differently?
No. Oregon has no local sales tax, so the state rules apply everywhere.
General sales tax rates, including any local rates, are in our Oregon sales tax guide.
Do you need to register for sales tax in Oregon?
No. Oregon has no sales tax, so there is no economic nexus threshold and no sales tax registration for remote sellers. Other Oregon taxes, such as income or gross receipts taxes, have their own rules and are not covered here.
There is nothing to register, collect or file for sales tax in Oregon. If you also sell into states that tax SaaS, their rules still apply to those sales.
