§ 36-628 — Retaliation.

When by or pursuant to the laws of any other state or foreign country any premium or income or other taxes, or any fees, fines, penalties, licenses, deposit requirements or other material obligations, prohibitions or restrictions are imposed upon Oklahoma insurers doing business, or that might seek to do business in such other state or country, which in the aggregate are in excess of such taxes, fees, fines, penalties, licenses, deposit requirements or other obligations, prohibitions or restrictions directly imposed upon similar insurers of such other state or foreign country under the statutes of this state, so long as such laws continue in force or are so applied, the same obligations, prohibitions and restrictions of whatever kind shall be imposed upon similar insurers of such other state or foreign country doing business in Oklahoma. All insurance companies of other nations shall be held to the same obligations and prohibitions that are imposed by the state where they have elected to make their deposit and establish their principal agency in the United States. Any tax, license or other obligation imposed by any city, county or other political subdivision of a state or foreign country on Oklahoma insurers or their agents shall be deemed to be imposed by such state or foreign country within the meaning of this section. The provisions of this section shall not apply to ad valorem taxes on real or personal property or to personal income taxes.
