Tax Credits for Employer-Supported Child Care
-
Oregon is among 20 states in the nation that offer a state tax credit for dependent care assistance provided to employees. Oregon's tax credit permits an employer to offset 50 percent of its child care expenditures against its state tax liability. The credit allows an annual limit of $2,500 per employee. The state tax credit for child care applies to these costs:
- Operating an employer-run child care facility or contracting with a third-party child care provider;
- Purchasing employees' child care through payments to a third-party child care provider;
- Providing direct subsidies or vouchers to employees; and
- Contracting for child care resource and referral services.
