With respect to the withholding taxes remitted by an establishment that makes the second irrevocable election pursuant to Section 3658 of this title, the Tax Commission shall continue to transfer such taxes to the Quality Jobs Program Incentive Leverage Fund for any period of time after which the establishment files the second irrevocable election. If the Oklahoma Development Finance Authority does not issue obligations as a result of the second irrevocable election, the establishment shall notify the Tax Commission and the Oklahoma Development Finance Authority that further transfers of withholding taxes remitted by the establishment to the Quality Jobs Program Incentive Leverage Fund are not required.
C. Subject to the provisions of Section 11, Chapter 299, O.S.L. 2002, if the amount of the withholding taxes remitted by the establishment is less than the amount required pursuant to subsection E of Section 3658 of this title, the proceeds from the guaranty required by subsection M of Section 3654 of this title shall be paid to the Quality Jobs Program Incentive Leverage Fund.
D. After the amount of withholding taxes required to be transmitted to the Quality Jobs Program Incentive Leverage Fund has been computed, the remaining withholding tax remitted by a qualified establishment shall be apportioned in the manner prescribed by law.
E. The amount of withholding taxes transferred to the Quality Jobs Program Incentive Leverage Fund pursuant to this section shall be deemed not to have accrued to the State Treasury for purposes of certifications required by the State Board of Equalization pursuant to Section 23 of Article X of the Oklahoma Constitution and shall be deemed to be monies held in trust for the benefit of the Oklahoma Development Finance Authority in order to repay obligations issued by the Authority pursuant to Section 3654 of this title.
F. The withholding taxes attributable to the wages of employees of an establishment which has made the second irrevocable election provided for by Section 3658 of this title shall be apportioned in the manner prescribed by law as soon as all of the obligations of the Oklahoma Development Finance Authority issued pursuant to Section 3654 of this title have been fully repaid and after such time the provisions of this section shall cease to have the force and effect of law.
