02:27 PM -- SB17-238
Senator Holbert, prime sponsor, presented Senate Bill 17-238, which modifies notification requirements for out-of-state retailers that do not collect Colorado sales tax on sales made to Colorado purchasers. The bill repeals the requirement that retailers not collecting sales tax provide the Department of Revenue (DOR) with a list of purchasers who made purchases on which tax was not collected, and repeals the fine assessed on retailers who fail to do so. It requires retailers to notify purchasers of their state use tax obligation by email rather than first class mail.
