Oregon state income tax
Up to 9.9% on individual income. For LLC pass-through with Oregon nexus, this applies to your share of LLC income. Wyoming has no state income tax. For non-resident founders with no Oregon nexus, the tax does not apply, but the underlying complexity is unwelcome.
Privacy and filings
Oregon requires governing person disclosure on annual reports. Wyoming hides everything. Wyoming wins on privacy.
When Oregon could fit
- You operate physical business in Oregon
- You are an Oregon resident
- You want Oregon's specific community/regional brand association (rare)
