Colorado Use Tax

[electronman1729]

Anyone else get the notice in the mail about online purchase's from retailers?

Last time I do business with new egg.

Really? Damn. I'll keep an eye out on the mail.

Before y'all start boycotting your favorite online retailers, the law changed recently and now they have to report your untaxed purchases to the greedy little fuckers.

Hopefully palmeto state and midway doesn't comply. Time to repeal the use tax. It makes no sense since the tax does not support the infrastructure of the selling business. Roads already supported by gas tax and p.o. is self sufficient..

Any retailer who makes more than $100,000 per year in sales in Colorado and does not collect Colorado sales tax is required to send an annual use tax notification to all Colorado customers and to the state of Colorado.

This notification should be sent to each customer by January 31 of the following year and include the following:
date of the purchase(s)
amount and category of the purchase(s)
whether or not the purchase(s) was tax exempt (if known by the retailer)

The seller must also send the following to the Colorado Department of Revenue by March, 1:
names of all Colorado customers
addresses of all Colorado customers
date of the purchase(s)
amount and category of the purchase(s)
whether or not the purchase(s) was tax exempt (if known by the retailer)

Failure to send this notification will result in a penalty of $5 per customer.

This thread is like deja vu all over again.

Yep, wife got one from Zulily. I let her know not to buy anything else from them.

Well, more Colifornia. The amount of money the state and everyone down the line wants is crazy. My Property taxes went up 30 percent. That was based on a valuation from 2016. I can only imagine what next year will be. I heard a bit on the radio about Colorado tying to stop the military retirees from leaving. Colorado is turning into an expensive hassle. My guess is it cost them almost as much to enforce this as they make in revenue.

Although not military I have no plans to retire here. I think those in public service or that have regular 401K retirements are out of their minds to retire in such a place.
