   Oklahoma.
   
   E. Fiduciaries. A tax is hereby imposed upon the Oklahoma taxable
   income of every trust and estate at the same rates as are provided in
   subsection A of this section for single individuals. Fiduciaries are
   not allowed a deduction for any federal income tax paid.
   
   F. Tax rate tables. For all taxable years beginning after December 31,
   1991, in lieu of the tax imposed by subsection A of this section,
   there is hereby imposed for each taxable year on the taxable income of
   every individual, whose taxable income for such taxable year does not
   exceed the ceiling amount, a tax determined under tables, applicable
   to such taxable year which shall be prescribed by the Tax Commission
   and which shall be in such form as it determines appropriate. In the
   table so prescribed, the amounts of the tax shall be computed on the
   basis of the rates prescribed by subsection A of this section. For
   purposes of this subsection, the term "ceiling amount" means, with
   respect to any taxpayer, the amount determined by the Tax Commission
   for the tax rate category in which such taxpayer falls.
