PROPERTY TAX RELIEF AND SALES TAX Enacts three percent sales tax exempting food
and prescription medicine. Prohibits increase without people's vote. Constitutionally dedi
cates proceeds to reducing property taxes. Changes constitutional school property tax limita
tions, establishes new property tax bases which school districts cannot exceed without people's
vote. Restricts number of school tax elections, provides uniform dates. Increases corporation
taxes. Rebates some income taxes to low income families. Prohibits increased property taxes
on homesteads of $20,000 or less after owner's age 65.
ESTIMATE OF FINANCIAL EFFECTS: The passage by the people of HJR 8 would make oper
ative three state revenue measures.
House Bill 1055 (Corporation Tax Increase) would increase the rate of taxation from 8 to
9 percent on the taxable income of banks and other financial corporations as defined by ORS
317.055 and 317.060. The tax rate on all other corporations would be raised from 6 to 7 percent
of taxable income. The resulting increase would add approximately $6 million annually to the
General Fund in the first year.
House Bill 1126 (Exemptions and Refunds) would enable the head of household with less
than $3,500 of annual household income to obtain a refund from the General Fund via the in
come tax return that would offset a portion of the property tax he had paid to the county.
For the purposes of this Act, 25 percent of an individual's rent would be considered as prop
erty tax. Annual cost to the General Fund would be approximately $7.7 million, plus an ad
ministrative cost of $125,000. HB 1126 would also provide that the taxes on a senior citizen
homestead valued at $20,000 or less could not be increased, and would appropriate $800,000
for the purpose of offsetting the tax dollar reduction because of the freeze.
House Bill 1127 (Sales and Use Tax) would Impose a three percent retail sales and use tax
exempting food, drugs, and other specific items. On an annual basis, approximately $97.7 mil
lion would be collected by retail and other businesses. From the amount collected, approxi
mately $1.2 million would be retained by the sellers as a vendor discount, and approximate
ly $1.3 million would be allocated to the Motor Vehicle Use Tax Account, leaving approxi
mately $95.2 million for the Sales Tax Receipts Account of the General Fund.
The state would collect the sales tax monies primarily by quarter-years. The monies
would then be credited to the Local Property Tax Relief Account. The sales and use tax col
lections for the first fiscal year ending June 30. 1970 (three quarter payment) would be in
excess of $71 million. The estimated cost for the administration of the sales tax for the fis
cal year 1969-70 would be about $1.5 million.
