Current through Vol. 42, No. 1, September 16, 2024

(a) A purchaser will be relieved from liability for penalty for having failed to pay the correct amount of sales or use tax in the following circumstances:

(1) A purchaser's seller or CSP relied on erroneous data provided by the Tax Commission on tax rates, boundaries, taxing jurisdiction assignments or in the taxability matrix completed by the Tax Commission;

(2) A purchaser holding a direct pay permit relied on erroneous data provided by the Tax Commission on tax rates, boundaries, taxing jurisdiction assignments or in the taxability matrix completed by the Tax Commission;

(3) A purchaser relied on erroneous data provided by the Tax Commission in the taxability matrix completed by the Tax Commission; or

(4) A purchaser using databases pursuant to subsections (F), (G) and (H) of Section 305 of the SSUTA (Local Rate and Boundary Changes) relied on erroneous data provided by the Tax Commission on tax rates, boundaries or taxing jurisdiction assignments. After providing adequate notice as determined by the Governing Board, the Tax Commission may provide an address-based database for assigning taxing jurisdictions pursuant to Section 305 of the SSUTA, subsection (G) or (H) and may cease providing liability relief for errors resulting from the reliance on the database provided by the Tax Commission.

(b) Except where prohibited by the Oklahoma Constitution, the Tax Commission will also relieve a purchaser from liability for tax and interest for having failed to pay the correct amount of sales or use tax in the circumstances described in (a) of this Section, provided that, with respect to reliance on the taxability matrix completed by the Tax Commission, such relief is limited to the Tax Commission's erroneous classification in the taxability matrix of terms included in the Library of Definitions as "taxable" or "exempt," "included in sales price" or "excluded from sales price" or "included in the definition" or "excluded from the definition."

(c) For purposes of this Section, the term "penalty" means an amount imposed for noncompliance that is not fraudulent, willful or intentional, which is in addition to the correct amount of sales or use tax and interest.
