Senate Finance Committee to Study Agricultural Sales Tax Exemptions
The agricultural industry has a significant impact on Oklahoma’s economy, and Senate Agriculture and Wildlife Committee Vice Chairman Roland Pederson said it’s time to review who qualifies for agricultural sales tax exemptions in the state.

An interim study - “Finding a pathway for equitable farm tax exemptions” - will take a deep dive into this issue in the Senate Finance Committee on Monday, Sept. 13 at 10:30 a.m.

Pederson said the Oklahoma Tax Commission recently changed the process to getting an agricultural sales tax exemption card, and he’s heard from many farmers and ranchers from across the state who’ve had difficulties getting or renewing their exemption. Cards must be renewed every three years.

The study will be held at the Oklahoma State Capitol in room 535. It will also be livestreamed at www.oksenate.gov.
