Colorado Governor Signs New Tax Rules, Places Burden on Small Businesses

DENVER, CO (May 23, 2019) — Colorado Gov. Jared Polis signed legislation that codifies a controversial rule change announced last year by the state’s Department of Revenue establishing a destination-based sales tax system. Previously, online retailers assessed, collected and remitted sales tax based on the tax jurisdictions they share with their customers.

But under the new system, the retailers pay sales taxes based on their customers’ addresses. With more than 700 unique sales tax combinations in the state, due to its multitude of special taxing districts and home-rule cities, the new system could be a significant burden on small businesses.
