Major Oklahoma Tax Benefits Year 2008
The chart below is a brief view of incentives pertinent to businesses locating or expanding in Oklahoma.
For manufacturers and certain types of service companies (research, development and computer services),
Oklahoma offers two options: 1) Companies may choose either the Quality Jobs cash-back program or 2)
the Investment or New Jobs’ creation income tax credit package.
Ad valorem exemptions are available for capital investments made by these types of companies as long as
the calendar year qualified investment exceeds $250,000.00 and meets certain payroll thresholds. The
package may include refunding of sales taxes paid for construction materials by manufacturers. Incentives
are also available for investment in equipment to curtail hazardous waste and in CNG conversion of
vehicles. As the chart displays, for most services companies, the cash-back program is the primary
incentive. Training costs are generally covered for industries adding significantly to the numbers and
quality of Oklahoma jobs.
