On [IPUTP], there is a list of applicable US Miscellaneous Tax Parameters for State of Oregon. If these Miscellaneous identifiers do not exist, run [UPUTR] for State of Oregon to generate them.
||Miscellaneous Identifiers||Description
|STATE_ROUNDING|State Rounding Rule\\ \\The default value is always set to DEFAULT when this identifier is first created by [UPUTR].\\ \\For State of Oregon, the Default Rounding Rule used by Symmetry is to ROUND the State Tax result.\\ \\If rounding the state tax is not desired, enter NO in this field.
*In order to calculate the Transit tax for all employees, enter 'YES' to the applicable Transit Tax on [IPUTP].
*In order to calculate Transit Tax for certain employees, enter YES to the Transit Tax on [IPRLU].
\\ \\
----
!OR – IPRLU Set Up
The Miscellaneous Tax parameters must be set up for the following Miscellaneous Identifiers, if these identifiers do not exist, [UPCALC] will generate the default entries for them.
||Miscellaneous Identifiers||Description
|FILINGSTATUS|Mandatory\\'S'-single, 'M'-married, or 'MH'-married but w/h at higher single rate.
|TOTALALLOWANCES|Optional\\Enter the total number of allowances.
\\
The following optional Miscellaneous Identifiers may be manually entered on [IPRLU]:
||Miscellaneous Identifiers||Description

|TRANSIT_SANDY_TAX|Oregon Sandy Transit Tax
|TRANSIT_WILSONVILLE_TAX|Oregon Wilsonville Transit Tax
|TRANSIT_SOUTH_CLACKAMAS_TAX|Oregon South Clackamas Transit Tax
\\ \\
*If the Workers Compensation Fund is to be calculated for an employee, the ‘WC Method’ in the [IPRLU State|IPRLU#StateTab] tab must be set to ‘Calc by US Taxation’ or ‘Both by IPWC and US Taxation’.
*WC Method ‘Calc by IPWC Class’ will use the rates defined by class in [IPWC] to calculate the Workers Compensation
*If the [IPRLU] WC Method is not set up, then the [IPPGU] Pay Category WC Method will be used
\\ \\
----
!OR – ER SUTA
ER SUTA may be bypassed on [IPUTR] with ‘Do not Calculate’ or [IPRLU] ‘SUI ER Method’ = ‘Do not Calculate’.
There are two options to set up the ER SUTA rate by state:
#IPUTR
#*Enter the SUTA ER rate that is given by the government on the Override Tax Rate field.
#*This rate is applicable for the entire company within the State of Oregon.
#IDGV
#*If there is a specific rate given by the government for a different State Registration #, then enter the rate on [IDGV] by ‘Reg Type’; this overrides the [IPUTR] rate.
\\ \\

!OR – IPPC / PC Usages
[IPPC] – Set up Pay Components by PC Usages
\\
In order to calculate the following taxes, set up [IPPC] for these PC Usages:
||Usage||Description
|6058|Pre-FWT Hours - Total Hours worked, this is used for WC calculation
|7006|Workers Comp Employee Tax
|7007|Workers Comp Employer Tax
|7480|OR-Canby Transit Tax
|7481|OR- Lane Transit Tax
|7482|OR-Trimet Excise Tax
|7483|OR-Sandy Transit Tax
|7484|OR-Wilsonville Transit Tax
|7485|OR-S Clackamas Transit Tax
\\ \\

!OR – County Tax
On May 20, 2003, Multnomah county residents (GNIS Code 41-051-1135861) passed Measure 26-48, which established a temporary three year personal income tax on county residents. The tax was effective January 1, 2003 and is 1.25% of Oregon taxable income after an exemption deduction ($5,000 for joint filers and $2,500 for a single filer). The Multnomah County Tax was discontinued beginning January 1, 2006, thus STE will return zero for this County tax.
\\ \\
----
!OR– Workers Comp Employee and Employer
The Oregon Employee Workers Compensation Fund is computed as a dollar amount multiplied by the number of hours worked by the employee with no limit on the amount withheld. For 2011, the dollar amount is $0.014 and [IPPC] must be set up for PC Usage 6058 Pre-FWT Hours for Workers Comp.
*The Oregon Employer Workers Compensation tax is computed on the hours worked by employees.
*If the Workers Compensation Fund is to be calculated for an employee, the ‘WC Method’ in the [IPRLU State|IPRLU#StateTab] tab) must be set to ‘Calc by US Taxation’ or ‘Both by IPWC and US Taxation’.
*If the method is ‘Calc by US Taxation’, only the WC Fund will be calculated for the employee using the rate in [IPUTR].
*If the method is ‘Both by IPWC and US Taxation’, WC will be calculated using the rates defined in [IPWC] for Workers Compensation Class, as well as the WC fund rate defined in [IPUTR]. The WC amounts will be stored in separate pay components.
*The ‘Do Not Calculate’ toggle may be checked on [IPUTR] to bypass WC Calculation if desired.
*If [IPRLU] WC Method is not set up, then the [IPPGU] Pay Category WC Method will be used.
%%information Note: For Oregon Workers Compensation, in order to override the employee WC portion and move to the employer WC portion, then this employee WC portion becomes taxable and subject to SIT and SUTA tax.\\ \\In this case, WC should be calculated via Usercalc instead of by Symmetry.
*In Usercalc, calculate the employee and employer WC portion and store in the pay component before US Taxation Pay point.
*Then include this employee WC pay component into the Elements of Pre-State Earnings (Usage 6651) and Pre-SUI Employer Earnings (Usage 6752).
This approach truly reflects the Employee WC portion in the Pre-Tax Earnings pay components and will carry through the system for the use of Self-Adjust method etc.%%

[Symmetry Set Up - OR_02.jpg]\\
For Vertex Calculation, the [IPRLU State|IPRLU#StateTab] tab Vtx. Alt Tax Method = ‘01’ must be set up in order to re-calculate State Tax using the Federal Tax based on State parameters. Also the [IPRLU State|IPRLU#StateTab] tab Vtx # of Exemption 1 should = 1 in order to for Vertex to apply the ‘Standard Deduction in the tax formula’ to match the Symmetry Oregon State tax result as above.
