City, County & Metro Tax Coordination
Business tax jurisdictions
Portland's Revenue Division administers the city Business License Tax, Multnomah County Business Income Tax, and Metro SHS Business Income Tax. Its guidance uses jurisdiction and business facts to determine registration and filing requirements. Check boundaries instead of relying only on a Portland mailing address. Portland-area business-tax guidance.
Personal SHS and Preschool for All review
Metro SHS and Multnomah County Preschool for All personal taxes have their own filing guidance. Review residence, income, sourcing, and withholding for each program. A business return or Oregon state return should not be assumed to complete that personal-tax review. Portland-area personal-tax guidance.
Connect the entity and owner records
For a pass-through owner, reconcile business schedules, K-1 information, estimated payments, and personal filings before responding to a notice. Document which entity or individual made each payment and for which program, so amounts are not allocated to the wrong account.
How we scope the work
We start with the decision or filing you need to complete, the entities and people involved, and the deadline. After reviewing the available records, we identify missing information and propose the services and deliverables. For ongoing work, we establish a close and filing calendar so bookkeeping, tax projections, and owner reporting use consistent information.
For an audit or other assurance request, bring the lender, grant, board, or regulatory requirement. We confirm the engagement type and applicable professional requirements before accepting the work.
