OREGON WITHHOLDING FOR
NON-RESIDENT SELLERS

Beginning January 1, 2008, the sale of real estate by non-resident individuals and C corporations (that do not maintain a permanent place of business in the State) will be subject to a withholding requirement. Escrow closers will be required to withhold and pay to the State the lesser of 4% of the consideration, 4% of the net proceeds or 10% of the gain.

Exchange companies with funds in the exchange account at the conclusion of the exchange will also be subject to withholding requirements. Final regulations were issued in December.
