Oregon and the R&D Tax Credit
Oregon’s general Research and Development tax credit expired in 2017, but the state recently introduced a targeted incentive specifically for the semiconductor industry, valid through 2030. This specialized program offers a fifteen percent credit on qualified research expenses exceeding a baseline, capped at four million dollars annually per taxpayer. The credit is partially refundable based on employee count, and unused portions carry forward for five years. Claiming this requires annual certification from Business Oregon. Meanwhile, Oregon businesses across all industries remain fully eligible for the federal R&D tax credit, which qualified startups can also apply toward payroll taxes.
