Oregon levies no statewide general sales tax — one of only five states where that is true. For medical & dental practices that removes the single largest source of quiet liability, and shifts the work onto payroll, entity filings, and the obligations noted below.
Employer registration runs through the Oregon Employment Department, and the entity is registered with the Oregon Secretary of State. No sales tax, but the Corporate Activity Tax applies to commercial activity above a threshold and functions like a gross receipts tax.

Registering to do business in Oregon
Registering to do business in Oregon runs through the Oregon Secretary of State and employer accounts through the Oregon Employment Department. Because Oregon has no sales tax account to maintain, there is one less registration to let lapse than in most states.
Entity-level obligations in Oregon
Beyond sales tax, Oregon entities have their own obligations — registration with the Oregon Secretary of State, and whatever annual entity-level tax or report the state imposes. No sales tax, but the Corporate Activity Tax applies to commercial activity above a threshold and functions like a gross receipts tax. These are recorded as they accrue rather than discovered at year end.
