Maddy summaryHB 2228 updates Oklahoma's Sales Tax Relief Act to increase eligibility and benefits for low-income residents. It raises the annual income threshold for single filers without exemptions from $55,000 to $55,000 (unchanged for this category) and sets new limits at $75,000 for seniors, disabled individuals, and families. The bill increases the credit amount from $40 to $200 per allowable personal exemption for 2025 and beyond, with income over limits reducing the credit by 0.5%-1.5% depending on filing status. This directly affects Oklahoma residents filing sales tax claims whose household income falls within the new brackets.
