consumption of tangible personal property. The board of county commissioners of a county levying a county sales tax or the governing body of a municipality levying a municipal sales tax may levy an additional excise tax, at a rate that equals the county or municipal sales tax rate of such county or municipality, whichever is applicable, on the storage, use or other consumption of tangible personal property used, stored or consumed within the county or municipality. This authorization to levy and impose a county or municipal use tax shall be in addition to the tax levied by Section 1402 of this title. Such tax shall be paid by every person storing, using or otherwise consuming, within the county or municipality, tangible personal property purchased or brought into the county or municipality. The tax levy permitted in this section shall not be levied against tangible personal property intended solely for use outside the county or municipality, but which is stored in the county or municipality pending shipment outside the county or municipality or which is temporarily retained in the county or municipality for the purpose of fabrication, repair, testing, alteration, maintenance or other service. The additional tax levied pursuant to this section shall be paid at the time of importation or storage of the property within the county or municipality. This tax shall be assessed to only property purchased outside Oklahoma. Any person liable for payment of the tax authorized pursuant to this section, may deduct from such tax any local, county, or municipal sales tax previously paid on such goods or services. However, the amount deducted shall not exceed the amount that would have been due if the taxes imposed by the county or municipality had been levied on the sale of such goods or services. Added by Laws 1980, c. 172, § 1. Amended by Laws 1984, c. 295, § 1, eff. Jan. 1, 1985; Laws 1998, c. 301, § 12, eff. Jan. 1, 1999; Laws 2004, c. 535, § 12, eff. Nov. 1, 2004.
