Subject to the tax are individuals (residents within Metro's jurisdiction or others with income above the threshold earned within Metro’s jurisdiction) with taxable income over $125,000 – or $200,000 for those filing jointly – and businesses that have a positive net income and revenue of greater than $5 million.
Forms and instructions for the 2021 tax year were developed by the City of Portland in conjunction with state and federal authorities and are available on the Portland Revenue Bureau's website.
