Colorado Use Tax

[kidicarus13]

So to make a long story long, is it just the county sales tax rate? Or do they calculate based on your actual address? Or is it some other arbitrary amount? I live in unincorporated El Paso County so I better not get charged the COS 8.25% rate.

What if I lost those tax forms they sent me in a boating accident?

Who says the ammo I buy is going to be used in Colorado?

F*** them.

This is an interesting point, maybe. Is there a threshold for how much something needs to be utilized in state for this to apply? Say I buy a drone for my business which operates nationwide, but due to local laws, I can't use the drone here? What if I purchase course material for rules and regulations for another state? Pretty difficult to argue that it'd be utilized in state.

*The thing about not being able to use a drone here is made up, just for the purpose of the example.

If the amount is large enough that DOR decides to go after you, they'll demand payment. If you don't pay, they'll eventually enter a garnishment order against any wages you get, and an offset against any federal or state tax returns you're owed until the state is paid what it says you owe them.

That sounds like fun. But I really have no idea where my newegg one went. Big brother needs their share.

Wonder how many throw these away thinking its just junk mail from the vendor???

The state is probably hoping most toss them so they can steal more through late fees or fines.

I check mail once a week, and 99% goes in the shredder un-opened if my name is on it or garbage for standard junk mailers. I check more often when I am expecting something like standard tax forms. But it is amazing how much junk is disguised as official mail.

Long explanation short... it's based on what county you live in.

If it's a state sales tax, what does the county have to do with it? Or are they getting local taxes also? I believe the state sales tax is 2.9

The state collect most county sales taxes as well. I have to file sales tax returns every month, and the county and RTD taxes are on that return.

They also collect city and town taxes for non-home rule cities.
