On March 7, 2024, the Oregon legislature enacted a significant change to the state's law on retainage requirements for public and private construction projects. The new law introduces options for contractors to receive full payment of progress payments without retainage and without interest-bearing escrow accounts.
In Oregon, parties who withhold retainage are limited to five percent of the amount earned with each progress payment. However, on large projects, retainage can end up being hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of dollars, withheld from payment even though it has been earned.
Oregon Retainage Requirements Retainage from any party may not exceed 5% of the value of the work completed.
Individuals should generally increase withholding if they hold more than one job at a time or have income from sources not subject to withholding.
Generally, you want about 90% of your estimated income taxes withheld and sent to the government.12 This ensures that you never fall behind on income taxes (something that can result in heavy penalties) and that you are not overtaxed throughout the year.
To claim exempt, write EXEMPT under line 4c. You may claim EXEMPT from withholding if: o Last year you had a right to a full refund of All federal tax income and o This year you expect a full refund of ALL federal income tax. NOTE: if you claim EXEMPT you must complete a new W-4 annually in February.
