House Republicans announced legislation to lower the cost of living for Oregonians, including tax cuts that allow them to keep more of their paycheck.

“House Republicans want families to keep more of what they make by cutting income taxes and opposing new taxes and regulations that increase the cost of living,” said House Republican Leader Christine Drazan (R-Canby). “Lowering costs for Oregonians, starting with their tax bill, is our top priority.”

A recent poll commissioned by House Republicans found that a whopping 79% of Oregonians favor cutting taxes to make Oregon more affordable and 70% favor eliminating state income taxes on tips and overtime pay. The same poll showed that Oregonians see the cost of living as the top issue they face with 56% of Oregonians saying that taxes are too high. The statewide poll was conducted by Public Opinion Strategies between January 4–7th of this year, and surveyed 500 registered Oregon voters with a ±4.38% margin of error.

Legislation to cut taxes for working Oregonians include:

HB 3753 – Income Tax Cut
HB 3914 – No Tax on Tips
HB 2234 – No Tax on Overtime

“By cutting taxes for working families, nearly tripling standard deductions, HB 3753 is a direct way we can help the most tax-burdened Oregonians keep more of their paycheck,” said Rep. E. Werner Reschke (R-Klamath Falls), Vice Chair of the House Revenue Committee. “While House Democrats look for ways to take more money from Oregonians to fund an ever-growing and inefficient government, House Republicans stand with families desperate for relief.”

Oregon ranks as the 10th most expensive state to live in according to Forbes while another report by Finance Buzz found that Oregonians pay the highest rate in state income taxes in the country.

“Eliminating taxes on tips helps thousands of Oregonians working in the hospitality and service industries keep more money in their pockets as they face inflation and rising costs,” said Rep. Mark Owens (R-Crane), House Republican Assistant Leader and co-chief sponsor of HB 3914.

“Oregonians who work extra hours to support their families deserve to keep more of their hard-earned paychecks. No Tax on Overtime is a great way to give working Oregonians real, tangible relief from rising costs,” said Rep. Boshart Davis (R-Albany), House Republican Assistant Leader and chief-sponsor of HB 2234.
