How to Collect Oklahoma Sales Tax

Oklahoma is a destination-based sales tax state. This means that whenever you make a sale to a buyer in Oklahoma you are required to collect the sales tax rate (state + any local sales tax) at the buyer’s location. 

For example, say you live in Georgia but make a sale to a buyer in Oklahoma. You’d be required to charge the Oklahoma state rate, plus any local city, county and special taxing district rates to your buyer.
