Colorado Chamber Submits Comments Opposing Draft Legislation Changing Taxation of Computer Software
The Colorado Chamber has submitted formal comments to the Legislative Oversight Committee Concerning Tax Policy regarding draft legislation that would change the way computer software is taxed. The Chamber’s comments are based on concerns expressed by Colorado employers on this draft legislation which will be considered for a vote by the Legislative Oversight Committee Concerning Tax Policy. If the Committee votes to move the draft bill forward, it will be introduced during the 2023 Legislative Session.
The Colorado Chamber has advocated for years on behalf of employers for clarity in current laws and regulations on how computer software is taxed, and the current statute which is based on bi-partisan legislation adopted in 2011 (HB 1293) has provided that much needed clarity.
Colorado Chamber’s Tax Council Chair, Ryan Woods, will be testifying at the Oversight Committee hearing to share the concerns by the Chamber and its members. We strongly encourage Chamber members to contact the Committee if you would like to maintain the current tax policy for computer software. Committee member contact information can be found here.
Please contact Larry Hudson at [email protected] or Loren Furman at [email protected] with any questions.
