Oklahoma sales tax holiday
For information only, not tax advice
Each August, Oklahoma exempts clothing and footwear priced under $100 per article from state sales tax for one weekend. By the statute rule the next holiday is August 6 to 8, 2027; confirm dates and local rules with the Oklahoma Tax Commission.
When the holiday runs
Under OAC 710:65-13-511, the exemption begins at 12:01 a.m. on the first Friday in August and ends at midnight on the following Sunday, in the time zone of the seller's location.
Dates by year, derived from the rule
- August 7 to 9, 2026: the most recent holiday, now over.
- August 6 to 8, 2027: the next holiday.
These dates come from applying the rule to the calendar, not from an Oklahoma Tax Commission announcement MuniRevenue has read. Confirm them with the Oklahoma Tax Commission before you plan around them.
What is exempt
Under 68 O.S. 1357.10 and the rule, sales of clothing and footwear designed to be worn on or about the human body, priced under $100 per article, are exempt. Each article is measured separately, so the limit applies per item, not per order.
What is excluded
- Special athletic or protective clothing and footwear not normally worn except for that use.
- Accessories, such as jewelry.
- Rentals.
Online and mail orders
Under the rule, an eligible item ordered online or by mail qualifies if it is paid for and delivered during the holiday, or paid for and accepted by the seller during the holiday for immediate shipment.
Local sales tax
Confirm with the Oklahoma Tax Commission whether city and county sales tax is also waived. MuniRevenue could not settle it from the rule or the OTC help center.

Frequently asked questions
When is the next Oklahoma sales tax holiday?
By the statute rule, the holiday runs from the first Friday in August through the following Sunday, which makes the next one August 6 to 8, 2027. That date is derived from the rule, not from an Oklahoma Tax Commission announcement MuniRevenue has read, so confirm it with the Oklahoma Tax Commission.

Clothing and footwear priced under $100 per article are exempt from state sales tax during the holiday. Special athletic or protective clothing, accessories and rentals are excluded.
Does the holiday waive city and county sales tax?
Confirm with the Oklahoma Tax Commission. The rule describes the exemption as from sales and use tax without saying whether local tax is included, and the OTC help center describes it as from state sales tax.
