Title 3A. Amusements and Sports
§3A-207. Tax imposed - Distribution of proceeds.

Each organization licensee shall collect a tax of ten percent (10%) of the amount received by the organization licensee for tickets for admission to the race meeting grounds. If an organization licensee offers a reduced price for admission to the race meeting grounds based upon the purchase of a season ticket or pass, the amount of tax collected by the licensee for admission to the race meeting grounds as a result of the purchase of such ticket or pass by any person shall be equal to the amount of tax that would have been collected by the licensee for admission to the race meeting grounds if such person did not hold a season ticket or pass. On the first business day after the close of the racing day on which the tax was collected, the organization licensee shall remit to the Oklahoma Tax Commission the proceeds from the tax. The proceeds of the tax shall be distributed as follows:

1. For the first two (2) years of operation, forty-five percent (45%) shall be apportioned monthly to the municipality in which the racetrack is located. Fifty percent (50%) shall be apportioned monthly to the county in which the racetrack is located. Five percent (5%) shall be apportioned monthly to the General Revenue Fund of the State Treasury.
2. For the third and all following years, fifty percent (50%) shall be apportioned monthly to the municipality in which the racetrack is located and fifty percent (50%) shall be apportioned monthly to the county in which the racetrack is located.
If the racetrack is not located in a municipality or is located in a municipality with a population of less than one thousand (1,000), one hundred percent (100%) of the proceeds shall be distributed to the county in which the racetrack is located.
