How Oklahoma Handles Tax on Shipping

Learn how Oklahoma handles sales tax on shipping charges

Updated over a month ago

In Oklahoma, shipping charges are taxable if they’re part of the sale of taxable items.


General Rule

  • Taxable: Delivery is taxable when tied to taxable goods.

  • Exempt: Shipping is exempt if only exempt goods are shipped.


Handling Charges

Handling or combined “shipping & handling” fees are always taxable.


Best Practices for Compliance

  • Itemize delivery charges clearly on invoices.

  • Check mixed orders carefully — taxable items make shipping taxable.


Example

  1. Selling taxable furniture for $1,000 with $50 delivery → $50 is taxable.

  2. Selling exempt medical equipment for $1,000 with $50 delivery → $50 is exempt.
