Overall collections increased 2.6% from a year earlier, but taxes on out-of-state and internet purchases accounted for nearly all of the net gain.
OKLAHOMA CITY — Oklahoma gross receipts continued growing in July, although nearly all of the increase came from a sharp rise in taxes collected on out-of-state and internet purchases.
The state collected $1.45 billion during the month, an increase of $36.9 million, or 2.6%, from July 2025, according to the latest State Tax Revenue Report released Friday by State Treasurer Todd Russ.
Use-tax collections jumped 38% and produced almost as much additional revenue as the state’s overall net increase. Regular sales-tax collections grew a more modest 2.8%.
“July’s report shows a steady economic environment,” Russ said. “Manufacturing remains in expansion territory, consumer activity continues to support sales and use tax growth, and inflation is beginning to moderate, signaling balanced conditions as Oklahoma moves further into summer.”
Individual income-tax collections also increased slightly. Those gains were partially offset by declines in corporate income taxes, gross production taxes on oil and natural gas, motor vehicle taxes and other smaller revenue sources.
Longer-term growth remains stronger
Oklahoma collected $17.95 billion during the 12 months ending in July, up $977.5 million, or 5.8%, from the preceding 12-month period.
That growth was spread across more of the state’s revenue base. Individual income-tax collections increased 12.2%, consistent with stronger taxable earnings and personal income. Use-tax collections also posted double-digit growth, while gross production, regular sales and motor vehicle taxes increased more modestly.
Corporate income-tax collections and the report’s collection of more than 70 smaller revenue sources declined over the 12-month period.
Economic indicators remain mixed
Oklahoma’s July Business Conditions Index remained above the level associated with manufacturing expansion, according to Creighton University. New orders and production showed growth, but the state lost an estimated 2,200 manufacturing jobs during the preceding year.
Oklahoma’s June unemployment rate was 4.2%, matching the national rate but standing a full percentage point higher than one year earlier. National consumer prices in June were 3.5% higher than a year earlier.
Taken together, the figures show continued growth in tax collections and manufacturing activity alongside softer employment conditions.
