Accounting for the east side of the Portland metro

Gresham is the Portland metro’s fourth-largest city and the commercial anchor of east Multnomah County — a hard-working, diverse community of manufacturers, trades and contractors, healthcare practices, and a growing base of service and small businesses. It’s a different economy from the tech-heavy west side, and the businesses here are often family-run and growth-minded. They benefit from accounting that keeps the books clean and, crucially, gets the Portland-area local taxes right.

Oregon taxes — and why Gresham’s county matters

Here’s the catch that trips up east-metro owners: unlike Beaverton or Hillsboro (Washington County), Gresham is in Multnomah County, which changes your local-tax picture:

  • Oregon income tax, no statewide sales tax.
  • Multnomah County Business Income Tax: because Gresham is in Multnomah County, businesses operating here can be subject to the county business income tax — something Washington County (west-side) businesses avoid.
  • Portland-metro taxes & the Oregon CAT: regional Metro-area business taxes and the Oregon Corporate Activity Tax can also apply as you scale.
Same metro, different tax bill. A Gresham business and a Beaverton business can owe meaningfully different local taxes purely because of the county line. We map exactly which Oregon and local taxes apply to your Gresham address and file them. Rates and thresholds change — we confirm current figures.
