Claims for incentive payments - Qualifications
Official statutory text
A. As soon as practicable after the end of the first complete
calendar quarter following the start date, the proxy establishment
shall file a claim for the payment with the Oklahoma Tax Commission
and shall specify the actual number and gross payroll of new direct
jobs of remote workers for the proxy establishment for the calendar
quarter. The Tax Commission shall verify the actual gross payroll
for new direct jobs for the proxy establishment for such calendar
quarter. If the Tax Commission is not able to provide such
verification utilizing all available resources, the Tax Commission
may request such additional information from the proxy establishment
as may be necessary or may request the proxy establishment to revise
its claim. A proxy establishment may file for an extension of the
initial filing date with the Oklahoma Department of Commerce. Any
such extension shall be based solely upon an extraordinary adverse
business circumstance which prevented the proxy establishment from
attracting the remote workers in the new direct jobs as projected.
If a proxy establishment fails to file claims as required by this
section, it shall forfeit the right to receive any incentive
payments after two (2) years from the start date. If an
establishment has filed at least one claim pursuant to this section
but fails to file another claim within two (2) years of the most
recent claim, the Tax Commission, after consulting with the
Department of Commerce, may dismiss the establishment from the
program, forfeiting the establishment's right to receive incentive
payments based on that contract.
B. If the actual verified gross payroll for four (4)
consecutive calendar quarters does not equal or exceed the
applicable total required by Section 4 of this act within twelve
(12) months of the start date, or does not equal or exceed the
Oklahoma Statutes - Title 68. Revenue and Taxation Page 1505

during the ten-quarter period after the start date, the incentive
payments shall not be made and shall not be resumed until such time
as the actual verified gross payroll equals or exceeds the amounts
specified in Section 4 of this act. If a proxy establishment fails
to achieve the required gross payroll within twelve (12) months of
the start date, the proxy establishment shall not make a new or
renewal application for incentive payments authorized pursuant to
the Oklahoma Remote Quality Jobs Incentive Act for a period of
twelve (12) months from the last day of the last month of the ten-
quarter period during which the required gross payroll amount was
not achieved.
C. If the average annualized wage required for a proxy
establishment does not equal or exceed the amount specified in
paragraph 1 or 2 of subsection F of Section 3604 of Title 68 of the
Oklahoma Statutes during any calendar quarter, the incentive
payments shall not be made and shall not be resumed until such time
as such requirements are met.
D. In no event shall incentive payments, cumulatively, exceed
the estimated net direct state benefits or exceed the cumulative
payments made by a proxy establishment to remote workers.
E. The proxy establishment shall be responsible for collecting
payroll statements or other such documentation of withholding taxes
paid to the State of Oklahoma from remote workers and shall submit
that information to the Oklahoma Tax Commission.
