Historical Facts and Responsibilities
The Oklahoma Tax Commission, from its inception in 1931, has been responsible for the
collection and administration of various tax sources and the apportionment of these
revenues to state funds which provide monies for education, transportation, recreation,
social welfare, and the myriad of other services provided for the citizens of Oklahoma.
The Tax Commission is comprised of various divisions and sections overseen by an
administrator and three members (Commissioners): Chairman, Vice Chairman, and
Secretary-Member. The administrator is appointed by the Commissioners. The three
Commissioners are appointed by the Governor with the advice and consent of the State
Senate and serve terms of six years each.
It is the Commission's responsibility to supervise the administration and enforcement of
state tax laws and the collection of a majority of all state-levied taxes and fees.
The Commission directs the collection and distribution of the tax and license sources
under its administration and, by statute, is responsible for apportioning such tax
revenues to the various state funds. In addition, the Oklahoma Tax Commission allocates
directly to local units of government, certain state-collected levies earmarked to
counties, school districts and municipalities. On the contract basis with individual
municipalities and counties, the Tax Commission is involved with the administration,
collection and distribution of city and county sales taxes and city use taxes.
