Hearings on claims for refunds
Official statutory text
(a) If, upon the hearing as required by Section 227 of this
title, the Tax Commission finds that such tax was erroneously paid
through mistake of fact, or computation or misinterpretation of law,
it shall enter its written order allowing said claim for refund,
which refund may be paid to the taxpayer as provided by law, or
Oklahoma Statutes - Title 68. Revenue and Taxation Page 107
credited against any taxes due or to become due by the taxpayer as
the case may be; otherwise, the Tax Commission shall deny said
claim. The taxpayer shall have the right of appeal to the Supreme
Court from a decision of the Commission denying said claim for
refund as provided in Section 225 of this article.
(b) Any order entered by the Tax Commission, disallowing a claim
for refund, shall become final within thirty-one (31) days from the
date it is entered, unless an appeal is prosecuted therefrom, in
which event said order shall not become final until the appeal shall
have been determined. In the event the Tax Commission allows said
claim for refund, it shall pay the claimant the amount of refund, so
allowed out of funds in the official depository clearing account of
the Tax Commission, derived from collections in said fund from the
same source from which the overpayment occurred; and an
appropriation of so much of said fund as is necessary to pay said
claims for refund erroneously paid or collected is hereby made;
provided, that in the case of refunds due hereunder to taxpayers who
are required to remit taxes to the Tax Commission on a monthly or
quarterly basis, the Commission may, in lieu of a refund of the tax
erroneously paid, credit the account of the taxpayer for such
amount.
