Submit the executed BT-158 to the Oklahoma Tax Commission with your gross production tax registration. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the agency insists.
Oklahoma taxes the production of oil, gas, and other minerals as a gross production tax under Title 68. When you act as a first purchaser — the party that buys product at the wellhead and remits the tax on the producer’s behalf — the Oklahoma Tax Commission can require a surety bond as a condition of your reporting number.
The bond is filed on form BT-158 and guarantees that you pay all gross production tax, penalties, and interest due the State of Oklahoma while it is in force. The Tax Commission generally sets the amount at about three months’ estimated tax liability, so it scales with the volume you handle.
It is a guarantee to the state, not insurance for you — if the surety pays unremitted tax, you repay the surety. Purchasers who remit on time treat the bond as a registration formality. Enter the amount on your Commission notice; pricing is 1% of that amount, with a $100 minimum. A soft credit check may apply and never affects your score.
Submit the application with the bond amount the Tax Commission set — priced at 1% of that amount, with a $100 minimum, issued instantly for most.
