What This Bill Proposed

House Bill 1009 establishes a formula to progressively reduce individual income tax rates, corporate income tax rates, and tax rates starting in 2025 by dividing the existing decimal tax rate by ten each year until the rate reaches zero. The measure applies to taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2025.

Why it matters

Changes state tax liabilities for all resident and nonresident individuals, corporations, trusts, estates, and electing pass-through entities doing business in Oklahoma, incrementally decreasing state income tax revenue over successive years until taxation ceases entirely.
