<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Recently, the Oregon Legislature updated the web address for the Oregon Revised Statutes. Unfortunately, this has caused the majority of the ORS links within the individual
OAMs to no longer work. SARS has decided that rather than update every ORS link within the OAM, we will maintain a link to the ORS website near the top of the OAM homepage. Going forward, we will remove the ORS links from the existing OAM. If no changes
are made to the OAM except the removal of the ORS links, the effective date will not change.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">In other news, the SARS team has developed a new OAM, 15.41.00
<i>Withholding from Non-state Entities</i>, which provides guidance on the accounting and financial reporting of withholding some state distributions, when allowed by statute, from a non-state entity. We would greatly appreciate your emailed comments on this
proposed OAM by end of the day, Friday, April 25. We will discuss the comments we receive prior to posting a final version.
