paid for property to be used in productions. A. In order to administer the exemption for sales of tangible personal property to a motion picture or television production company as provided by paragraph 20 of Section 1357 of Title 68 of the Oklahoma Statutes there shall be made a use tax refund for state and local use taxes paid with regard to such items for use in an eligible production. B. The Oklahoma Tax Commission shall transfer each month from use tax collected the amount which the Tax Commission estimates to be necessary to make the use tax refund provided by this section to an account designated as the Tax Commission determines. C. Any refund shall be paid from the account prescribed by this section at the time the claim for refund is approved by the Oklahoma Tax Commission. The amount of the refund shall not exceed the total state and local use taxes paid together with accrued interest upon such total. The amount of interest paid upon the principal amount of any refund made to such production company for purposes of administering the exemption provided by paragraph 20 of Section 1357 of Title 68 of the Oklahoma Statutes shall be determined according to the provisions of this subsection. For any month during which the Oklahoma Tax Commission transfers a sum to the account prescribed by subsection B of this section, the Tax Commission shall determine an interest rate by determining the rate of interest paid for a three-month Treasury Bill of the United States government as of the first working day of the month and such interest shall accrue upon any amount transferred to the account together with interest previously accrued upon such amounts. D. The qualified purchaser shall file, during the preproduction phase, with the Oklahoma Tax Commission, a registration form containing the estimated production dates, estimated local production expenditures, name and address of the representative responsible for the expenditure records, and other such documentation required to be submitted pursuant to rules promulgated by the Oklahoma Tax Commission. E. The qualified purchaser shall file, within sixty (60) days after the completion of the filming, with the Oklahoma Tax Commission, the following documentation for any refund claimed: 1. Affidavit of the purchaser that the amount of use tax claimed has been remitted to the State of Oklahoma and that no refund of the use tax paid has previously been requested; 2. In cases where the purchaser remitted the use tax to its vendor, invoices indicating the amount of state and local use tax paid and affidavit of each vendor that state and local use tax billed to the purchaser has not been audited, rebated, or refunded to the purchaser but rather the use tax charged has been collected by the vendor and remitted to the Oklahoma Tax Commission; and 3. All additional documentation required to be submitted pursuant to rules promulgated by the Oklahoma Tax Commission.
