How to Get a Sales Tax Permit in Oklahoma
As of June 2010, Oklahoma's state sales tax is calculated at 4.5 percent of the overall sales or rentals of personal property and services. Having a sales tax permit allows you to charge tax for your goods or services because it ensures that you will be registered to pay the money you'll owe the state. If you have more than one business location, you'll have to pay an additional fee for each one to the Oklahoma Tax Commission.
