Membership Meeting Lunch
2024-09-16 11:45 - 13:00
The Roseburg Area Chamber’s September 16 membership lunch program will feature a presentation on Measure 118. Measure 118, which will be on the November ballot, would implement a massive new $6.8 Billion tax on sales in Oregon, driving up costs on even staples like food and medicine for Oregon consumers. It also would make Oregon’s businesses less competitive, eroding job growth and harming family farms and local businesses across the state. The Roseburg Area Chamber actively opposes Measure 118.
If passed by Oregon voters, Measure 118 would impose a 3% tax on businesses with gross Oregon sales over $25 million per year. The measure is essentially a gross receipts tax: It would tax sales, not profits – and businesses would be forced to pay the tax regardless of whether they were making a large profit, small profit, or were losing money.
Measure 118’s tax would apply at every step in the production and selling process. By the time an Oregon product went from raw materials to a manufacturer to a packaging company to a distributor and then to a retailer, it might be taxed five times before it finally reached the consumer, thereby driving up the cost far more than a typical sales tax.
Chamber membership lunches are held from 11:45 am to 1:00 pm at the Douglas County fairgrounds. Look for more details in future RACC member “Chamber News” emails and the chamber’s September/October Business Perspectives newsletter.
Advanced ticket purchase is required. Online ticket sales only. Tickets are not sold at the door. The last day to purchase tickets is September 11 at noon.
