Homegrown Oregonian here: it's common knowledge that to maximize profit against the system, a person should work in Vancouver WA where cost of living is low and state income tax doesn't exist, and then shop in Oregon where sales tax doesn't exist. The bottle return scheme wouldn't surprise me either, as the PNW is profoundly supportive of recycling.
- T-hawk 8y agoThose discrepancies should already be accounted for by the entities concerned, right? Vancouver WA employers should be able to pay a lower tax-free salary to match the net of an Oregon tax-burdened salary, and Oregon retailers should be able to charge a higher tax-free price to match a WA tax-inclusive price. Maybe they don't in practice because consumers don't rationally consider the net numbers, but theoretically they should.
