Overview

Avalara recently determined that between April 1 and May 15, 2020, transactions in the following jurisdictions in Oklahoma may have produced unexpected tax results:

  • Cleveland County - Sales tax transactions may show an unexpected sales tax rate of 0.25% instead of 0.125%
  • City of Norman – Sales tax transactions may show an unexpected sales tax rate of 4.0% instead of 4.125%
  • City of Moore – Use tax transactions may show an unexpected use tax rate of 3.75% instead of 3.875%

Please note that because the city of Norman is within Cleveland County, sales tax transactions in Norman may show unexpected tax results at both the city and county level.
