Oklahoma lawmaker wants to replace income tax with a service tax

Oklahoma Representative Mark McCullough of Sapulpa introduced a plan Wednesday to members of a State House subcommittee.

He says replacing Oklahoma's corporate and individual income tax with a tax on services would be a more reliable source of revenue for the state.

His plan proposes adding a tax to services like oil changes, haircuts and medical care in place of the income tax.

McCullough stresses it's a neutral plan because the increased service tax would be offset by reducing the income tax.
