Oregon vs Wyoming LLC

Oregon is rarely picked for non-resident LLC formation. State income tax up to 9.9%, annual fees, and disclosure requirements all push founders toward Wyoming. The comparison is straightforward.

Answer

Wyoming wins for non-resident founders. Oregon charges up to 9.9% state income tax if you have Oregon nexus. Annual report fees ~$100/year. Privacy worse than Wyoming. Cost over 5 years much higher than Wyoming. Only pick Oregon if you have Oregon-specific operations (employees, warehouse, customers).

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)
