4.      GROSS RECEIPTS TAX CHARGE:

 

All charges are subject to the Gross Receipts Tax levied by the State of Oklahoma.  After the computation of all charges, the total bill so computed will be adjusted to recover this tax.  Currently, the tax is two percent (2%) as of December 25, 2004.  All charges, including minimum charges, will be multiplied by 0.02 in calculating the net bill.  If the State of Oklahoma changes the tax rate, a corresponding change will be made to the calculation for taxes applied to each bill.

 

5.      OTHER TAXES:

 

All taxes, other than Gross Receipts Tax, that have or will be levied by a governmental sub-division (i.e.: City, County or State taxing authorities) will be added as a separate item on the electric bills of only the customers within the governmental sub-division assessing the tax.
