SaaS & Digital Products in Oklahoma
Oklahoma law distinguishes between tangible, downloaded, and remotely accessed software.
- SaaS (remotely accessed software) is not taxable because no tangible copy is transferred.
- Electronically delivered software and digital goods (downloads, subscriptions) are exempt under Oklahoma Statutes § 68-1357(32).
- Software sold on physical media (e.g., CD or USB) is taxable as tangible personal property.
- Custom software is exempt when developed for a single client.
- Software maintenance may be taxable if bundled with taxable tangible software.

Economic Nexus & Remote Seller Rules
Oklahoma enforces economic nexus rules based on $100,000 in taxable sales into the state. Remote sellers and marketplace facilitators exceeding this threshold must register and collect Oklahoma sales tax.
The 200-transaction threshold was removed in 2019.
Out-of-state sellers of exempt products (like SaaS) are not required to collect or remit, but may still have reporting obligations if they sell taxable goods.

Marketplace Facilitator Rules
Marketplace facilitators are required to collect and remit Oklahoma sales tax once the $100,000 threshold is reached.
If all sales are exempt (for example, digital subscriptions or SaaS access), no sales tax is due, but facilitators must ensure compliance for taxable items.
