  • A.  Not later than the fifth day of each month, the State Treasurer shall determine and shall certify to the Oklahoma Tax Commission the aggregate amount of interest earned upon the total of all amounts deposited to the Sales Tax Remitting Account during the preceding month.

    B.  Not later than the fifteenth day of each month, the Oklahoma Tax Commission, acting on behalf of a municipality or county for collection of sales taxes and on behalf of a municipality for collection of use taxes, shall determine and then remit to each municipality or county:

    1.  The amount of sales tax revenue, penalties and interest collected on behalf of the municipality or county and the amount of use tax revenue, penalties and interest collected on behalf of the municipality for the preceding month; and

    2.  An amount equal to the municipality's or county's proportionate share of the total interest earned upon all amounts deposited to the Sales Tax Remitting Account for the month as determined by the Oklahoma Tax Commission as provided in subsections C and D of this section.

    C.  The proportionate share of interest earned by each municipality shall be determined by dividing the total deposit of sales tax or use tax revenue, penalties and interest made on behalf of each municipality for the month, after deduction of the retention fee authorized by Section 2702 of Title 68 of the Oklahoma Statutes, by the total amount of all sales tax or use tax revenue, penalties and interest deposited into the Sales Tax Remitting Account for the same month.  The resulting figure shall be multiplied by the total amount of interest earned upon all deposits of sales tax or use tax revenue, penalties and interest made to the Sales Tax Remitting Account for the same month.  The resulting dollar amount shall be remitted to each municipality together with the amount as required by paragraph 1 of subsection B of this section.

    D.  The proportionate share of interest earned by each county shall be determined by dividing the total deposit of sales tax revenue, penalties and interest made on behalf of each county for the month, after deduction of the one-percent fee authorized by Section 1371 of Title 68 of the Oklahoma Statutes, by the total amount of all sales tax revenue, penalties and interest deposited into the Sales Tax Remitting Account for the same month.  The resulting figure shall be multiplied by the total amount of interest earned upon all deposits of sales tax revenue, penalties and interest made to the Sales Tax Remitting Account for the same month.  The resulting dollar amount shall be remitted to each county together with the amount as required by paragraph 1 of subsection B of this section.
