Additional Savings
No Sales Tax
And when we say “no sales tax” we don’t mean “a sales tax waiver in some categories as long as you fill out some paperwork”. Oregon has no sales tax on anything, which equates to no upfront costs for your production, no records to keep and no administrative hassles trying to get a sales tax refund. Like our scenery, it’s kind of refreshing isn’t it?
