# B.

The Oklahoma Tax Commission shall transfer each month from sales tax collected the amount which the Commission estimates to be necessary to make the sales tax refund provided by this section to an account designated as the Commission determines.

# C.

Any refund shall be paid from the account prescribed by this section at the time the claim for refund is approved by the Oklahoma Tax Commission. The amount of the refund shall not exceed the total state and local sales taxes paid together with accrued interest upon such total.

For any month during which the Oklahoma Tax Commission transfers a sum to the account prescribed by subsection B of this section, the Commission shall determine an interest rate by determining the rate of interest paid for a three-month Treasury Bill of the United States government as of the first working day of the month in which the transfer is made. The interest rate so determined shall accrue upon the amount transferred to the account. In each subsequent month, the Commission shall determine the interest rate paid for a three-month Treasury Bill of the United States government as of the first working day of the month and such interest rate shall accrue upon any amount transferred during the month and upon the amounts previously transferred to the account together with interest previously accrued upon such amounts.
