I. "Hear Ye, Hear ye!" 

 

Employers now have a new tool to assist them in obtaining important
payroll tax information.  The new blog, called "Oregon Employer Info",
allows you to receive important information quickly and easily, post
comments, and request additional information on any of the payroll
topics presented.  Please feel free to visit this new blog at

II. "Payments made Easy":

 

EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer) is a safe and accurate way to make your
state payroll and corporation excise income tax payments. EFT greatly
reduces the cost and time involved with handling paper checks and allows
for quicker posting of your payments. 

 

Using the Automated Clearing House (ACH) Network, employers can choose
between two payment options: ACH Debit and ACH Credit.  Payments can
also be made online using our WebPay System at "OregonEFT.net". For more
information on EFT, please go to our website at
http://www.oregon.gov/DOR/ESERV/eft.shtml
<http://www.oregon.gov/DOR/ESERV/eft.shtml>  

 

Oregon also provides electronic payment options using your checking or
savings account. There is no fee to use this payment option, and like
EFT, payments are posted quickly and accurately. The electronic payment
option is now available for a variety of tax programs.  For a complete
listing of all tax programs allowing electronic payments, please visit
our website at http://www.oregon.gov/DOR/ESERV/epayments.shtml
