Oregon has a state income tax.... and have you seen Portland?
you would think less people meant higher quality
and if you think about sales vs. income tax it really is not much different.
wa sales tax is 8.9% and oregon individual income tax can be as high as 9.9% plus corporate taxes up to 6.6% if you are a business owner. if you do the math being taxed 10% on your overall income is usually more than sales tax, considering you spend every dollar you make
😶
and if you are not spending your entire income the sales tax model costs even less.
the income tax model is only less if your income tax is below that 9% (which some places in oregeon are as low as 4.5%)
then Washington would be more expensive for you hahaha
