Shop Cyber Monday... But Don't Forget the Taxes

KWGS News File Photo

 After offering online deals for days, retailers are rolling out even more promotions for Cyber Monday, hoping to keep people buying stuff on their smartphones or computers. Shoppers are expected to spend $6.6 billion on Cyber Monday, up more than 16 percent from a year ago, according to Adobe Analytics, the research arm of software maker Adobe. And more people will be picking up their phones to shop: Web traffic from smartphones and tablets is expected to top desktop computers for the first time this year.

If you buy items from the internet, don’t forget that you still owe the state  sales tax in Oklahoma.

Paula Ross is with the Oklahoma Tax Commission. She says for cities in Oklahoma, Sales Taxes are the sole source of funding.

She says you can pay now, or file the tax with next year's income tax forms.
