Use the Oregon Political Tax Credit to Help Elect Small Business Advocates
Did you know that you have a unique opportunity to support candidates who will advocate for you, without it costing you a dime?
The Oregon Political Tax Credit allows you to contribute up to $50 per person or $100 for joint filers to a political campaign of your choice, and receive every dollar of it back when you file your taxes. This credit either lowers the amount you owe or increases your refund by the same amount (NOTE: under current Oregon law, individuals with an adjusted gross income of less than $75,000 – or joint filers with a combined income of less than $150,000 – are eligible for this credit).
By using this tax credit, you can help elect leaders who prioritize small businesses and work for you – all at no cost to you.
“Basically, each Oregon taxpayer is given a $50 gift from the state – but you can’t keep it. You can either use it to support a qualified political action committee like the Defend Small Business PAC, or pay it back in state taxes. The choice is yours.”
– Oregon State Chamber of Commerce
The Defend Small Business PAC is dedicated to electing candidates who will stand with local businesses and support their success through grassroots support. Your contribution can make a big difference in our efforts. Will you stand with us?
The Defend Small Business PAC (PAC 17474) helps protect, preserve and foster a political environment that will strengthen local businesses, their employees, their communities, and the private enterprise system.
About the Oregon Tax Credit
Oregon offers an income tax credit to Oregon tax filers who contribute to qualifying state, federal or local political campaigns.

Please note that current Oregon law allows individuals with an adjusted gross income of less than $75,000 – or joint filers with a combined income of less than $150,000 – to claim the Political Tax Credit. Consult your tax advisor for more information. Please see Oregon Secretary of State for details.
