Broadband businesses face new rebate rules
For equipment bought in 2025 or later, businesses must file rebate claims by September 1 of the following year. Claims go to the Oklahoma Broadband Office, which sets forms and approves or denies claims. The Oklahoma Tax Commission pays approved sales or use tax rebates. Equipment must be bought and placed in service to establish or expand broadband in legally designated underserved or unserved areas. It must directly distribute broadband and increase potential customers served; office, marketing, transportation, data-processing, and customer-premises equipment do not qualify.
Broadband rebates funded but capped lower
Beginning in 2025, Oklahoma caps annual broadband rebates at $14.071691 million, down from $42 million, replacing county-based funding allocations. The law provides $14.071691 million for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025, through the Oklahoma Tax Commission. That money goes into a new broadband rebate fund, which remains available across fiscal years. Eligible businesses receive full rebates when timely claims fit within the available pool; otherwise, payments are reduced proportionally. State payments cannot exceed the fund balance, and households receive no direct payments.
