The Oregon Statewide Transit Tax is only be available for Sage 100 version 2018 and Payroll 2.18.1.0 and higher after installing the Payroll Tax Update within the Payroll module released 6/25/2018. If you didn’t update when prompted, select Payroll, Utilities and run the Payroll Tax Update task.

Legacy versions (2017 and prior) won’t be supported for this new tax.

  • Options are to upgrade to Sage 100 version 2018.1 with Payroll 2.18.1 (minimum) or
  • Install Sage 100 version 2018.1 with Payroll 2.18.1(minimum) in another location for payroll. If you use Job Cost or integrate Job Cost with Time Card, this isn’t an option.

 NOTE: PR 2.26.0 includes a change that increases this Oregon Statewide Transit Tax rate.  Based on the information included in this article, https://www.oregon.gov/dor/programs/businesses/pages/statewide-transit-tax.aspx, the rate will no longer increase beginning with the 1/6/2026 Payroll update.
