A. Every person who qualifies pursuant to subsection B of this section and desires to directly remit the taxes due under Section 1350 et seq. of this title or Section 1401 et seq. of this title to the Oklahoma Tax Commission rather than remit such taxes to the vendor may apply to the Tax Commission for a direct payment permit. The permit shall be valid for three (3) years. Each such person shall file with the Tax Commission an application for a direct payment permit, setting forth such information as the Tax Commission may require, including but not limited to: 1. An agreement that is signed by the owner of the business or representative of the business entity and as a natural person, and, in the case of a corporation, as a legally constituted officer thereof, that provides that the applicant agrees to: a. accrue and remit all taxes imposed by Section 1350 et seq. of this title or Section 1401 et seq. of this title on the sale or use of all taxable personal property or services sold to or leased or rented by the applicant. Provided, no tax shall be due from the holder of a direct payment permit on tangible personal property intended solely for use in other states, but which is stored in Oklahoma pending shipment to such other states or which is temporarily retained in Oklahoma for the purpose of fabrication, repair, testing, alteration, maintenance, or other service, b. pay such taxes as required by Section 1365 of this title. Provided, in lieu of monthly reports, persons qualifying pursuant to paragraph 2 of subsection B of this section owing an average per month of Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00) or less may file quarterly reports and remit taxes due thereunder to the Tax Commission on or before the twentieth day of the month following the calendar quarter.

Upon verification that the applicant is eligible to receive a direct payment permit, the Tax Commission shall issue a direct payment permit for the place of business set forth in the application for the permit. The Tax Commission shall be the sole judge of the applicant's qualifications and may refuse to issue a direct payment permit to an applicant.

B. The following persons shall qualify for a direct payment permit as provided in subsection A of this section: 1. Every person who makes purchases of Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars ($800,000.00) or more annually in taxable items for use in Oklahoma enterprises; or 2.

C. For exempt purchases made by persons that have been issued a permit under paragraph 2 of subsection B of this section, the Tax Commission shall accept the following information, maintained separate from confidential patient records, as an acceptable accounting method by which the applicant documents the purchase of items exempt under Section 1357.6 of this title: 1.
