We believe that our mission statement gives a good summary of what our employee team is about:

It is our mission
to serve the people of Oklahoma
by promoting tax compliance
through quality service and fair administration.

The Oklahoma Tax Commission employs approximately 950 full-time state employees. Since its inception in 1931, the Tax Commission has been responsible for the collection and administration of various tax sources and the apportionment of these revenues to state funds which provide monies for education, transportation, recreation, social welfare, and the myriad of other services provided for the citizens of Oklahoma.

It is the responsibility of the agency employees to supervise the administration and enforcement of state tax laws and the collection of a majority of all state-levied taxes and fees. Approximately 100 types of taxes and fees are collected by agency employees. During fiscal year 2007 more than 10.3 billion dollars was processed and deposited for use by state government as well as county, cities and towns.

The agency’s main office is located in the capitol complex of Oklahoma City. There are also branch offices located in Tulsa, Lawton and Ardmore.
