County gross income includes income from all activity within the County (see apportionment instructions above). Enter the gross income

within the County as the numerator of the fraction and gross income everywhere as the denominator of the fraction. Divide to determine the

percentage of Subject Net Income to apportion to Multnomah County. Round apportionment percentages to six places (xx.xxxx% or .xxxxxx).

years. The annual deduction cannot exceed 75% of the apportioned income for the current year.

13. Enter all prepayments (quarterly, extension payments and credit carried forward from prior years).

14. Enter all late and/or underpayment penalties that apply (see penalty calculation instructions below).

15. Interest on taxes not paid by the original due date (April 15 for calendar year taxpayers) is calculated at 10% per annum (.00833 x no. of

months). Calculate interest from original due date to the 15th day of the month following the date of payment.

16. Total lines 12, 13, 14 and 15 to determine balance due or (overpayment) for Multnomah County Business Income Tax.

17. Overpayments may be refunded, credited forward or transferred between programs.

Penalty calculation (line 14 and line 24)

A penalty of 10% (5% late penalty plus 5% underpayment penalty) of the tax must be added if the report and tax are filed and paid past the

due date. An additional penalty of 20% of the tax must be added if the report and tax is more than four months past due. Any report and

tax which is delinquent three or more consecutive years accrues an additional 100% of the tax as penalty. No late penalty is due if a timely

extension is filed with the Bureau and a return is filed by the extended due date. No underpayment penalty is due if a timely prepayment is made

which is at least 90% of the total tax on line 12 (County) and at least 90% of the tax on line 22 (City), or 100% of the prior year’s tax.
