How Oklahoma Handles Tax on Shipping

Learn how Oklahoma handles sales tax on shipping charges

Updated this week

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.
