Sales Tax Breakdown

Oklahoma Cities and Towns are largely supported by sales tax. Under Oklahoma law, state sales tax must be charged and collected on all transfers of title or possession of tangible personal property for valuable consideration that occur within this state. If the transaction occurs within the boundaries of a county or municipality that levies a sales tax, the applicable county or municipal sales tax must also be charged and collected.
