Section 1407.2 - Retailer Compliance InitiativeA. For the purpose of registration, collection, and remittance of sales and use taxes owed to this state pursuant to the Oklahoma Retail Protection Act of 2016, the Oklahoma Tax Commission is hereby authorized and directed to establish an initiative for out-of-state retailers, as provided in this section.B.1. The Tax Commission shall not seek payment of uncollected use taxes from an out-of-state retailer who registers to collect and remit applicable sales and use taxes on sales made to purchasers in this state prior to registration under the initiative, provided that the retailer was not registered in this state in the twelve-month period preceding the effective date of this section.2. The provisions of this subsection will preclude assessment for uncollected sales and use taxes together with penalty or interest for sales made during the period the retailer was not registered in this state, provided registration occurs prior to May 1, 2017.3. The relief provided herein shall not be available to a retailer with respect to any matter or matters for which the retailer received notice of the commencement of an audit and which audit is not yet finally resolved including any related administrative and judicial processes and is not available for use taxes already paid or remitted to the state or taxes collected, but not remitted, by the retailer.4. The relief provided herein is fully effective, absent the retailer's fraud or intentional misrepresentation of a material fact, as long as the retailer continues registration and continues collection and remittance of applicable use taxes for a period of at least thirty-six (36) months. The statute of limitations applicable to asserting a tax liability during this thirty-six-month period shall be tolled.5. The relief provided herein is applicable only to sales and use taxes due from a retailer in its capacity as a retailer and not to sales and use taxes due from a retailer in its capacity as a buyer.C. The Tax Commission shall promulgate rules detailing the terms and other conditions of this program.Okla. Stat. tit. 68, § 1407.2
