Annual tax credit against State corporate excise and income taxes computed at 62.5 percent of gross payroll. It may be claimed for each of 5 to 15 years starting by the tax year that begins in the third year after facility is placed in service, with subsequent five-year carry-forward for each year's credit. Minimum payment is subtracted from Oregon tax liability; next, an "intrastate" factor is applied to determine the facility's qualified liability; this factor is derived from either CPA standards or intrastate payroll & property ratios. Credits depend on approval by the Governor of Oregon, who sets term.
