Workshops for New or Existing Business...
Statistics show a lack of knowledge concerning tax laws, rules and procedures is the major reason for
delinquencies among businesses. For this reason, the Oklahoma Tax Commission believes every person in
Oklahoma should receive instruction regarding ownership responsibilities, including the collection, remittance
and payment of Oklahoma business taxes before actually starting a new business.
The Oklahoma Tax Commission provides free workshops to provide this vital information. It is also the goal
of the workshops to instruct existing businesses on proper business registration, tax reporting, tax bookkeeping
and tax exemptions.
The Oklahoma Tax Commission conducts these workshops in Oklahoma City, Tulsa and other locations
throughout the state as needed, on a monthly basis. The workshops last approximately three hours and focus
on the following topics:
1. New Business Registration
2. Business Tax Reporting Form Completion
3. Sales and Withholding Record Keeping Requirements
4. Sales Tax Deductions, Exemptions and Vendor Responsibilities
Interested persons should contact the Oklahoma Tax Commission at (405) 521-3160 for information con-
cerning workshop schedules and to make a reservation. You may also visit our website at for
additional information regarding workshop locations, start times and other pertinent information concerning
starting a new business.
To insure we have adequate space, please make a workshop reservation.
