What Is the Oklahoma Car Sales Tax?

Oklahoma doesn’t use a standard sales tax for vehicles. Instead, it charges a 3.25% Motor Vehicle Excise Tax on the car’s net price.

Here’s what that means in plain terms:

• Vehicle Price: The total price of the car before discounts.
• Trade-In Value: If you trade in your old car, its value is subtracted from the price of the new car.
• Taxable Amount: Vehicle Price – Trade-In Value.
• Excise Tax: 3.25% of the Taxable Amount.

For example:
If you buy a car for $35,000 and trade in your old one for $10,000, the taxable amount is $25,000. The excise tax will be $812.50 (3.25% of $25,000).

Tips for Car Buyers in Oklahoma

1. Trade-In Matters – Always check how much your dealer offers for your old car. Every dollar reduces your taxable amount.
2. Other Fees Still Apply – Don’t forget about title fees, registration costs, and documentation fees. These are separate from the excise tax.
3. Budget Ahead – Before walking into the dealership, run the numbers with the calculator. It keeps you in control of the negotiation.
4. Used vs. New Cars – The 3.25% tax applies to both new and used vehicles, as long as the purchase is from a dealer.
