OAC 710:65-7-8 (reprinted in OTC Publication D, rev. Dec. 2025): for sales for resale, properly completed documentation is (1) a copy of the purchaser's sales tax permit, or if unavailable the purchaser's name, address, sales tax permit number and expiration date (verified by calling Taxpayer Assistance or using the OTC permit list if not previously verified), (2) a statement that the articles are purchased for resale, and (3) the purchaser's signature. Rule 710:65-7-6(c): the vendor must keep a record of 'the purchaser's resale number issued by the Commission'; failing to do so creates a presumption the sale was not for resale.

How to buy for resale in Oklahoma, step by step

  1. Register for a Sales Tax Permit with the Oklahoma Tax Commission (OTC) ($20). Register online.
  2. Fill in the No dedicated Oklahoma resale form — copy of purchaser's Oklahoma Sales Tax Permit (or written certification with permit details); MTC Uniform certificate accepted in lieu of the permit copy with your registration number, what you sell and what you're buying. Official form.
  3. Give it to each supplier before or at the time of purchase; use a blanket certificate for regular suppliers where the state allows one. Suppliers keep it on file — you don't send it to the state.
  4. Only buy items you'll resell this way. Anything you take out of inventory for your own use owes use tax.
  5. When you sell, collect Oklahoma sales tax from your customers unless they give you a valid exemption or resale certificate.
