The Colorado Department of Revenue, Division of Taxation, will host a public rulemaking hearing on the sales tax rules listed below at 10:00 a.m. on August 31, 2023.
This hearing will be conducted virtually. The Department has created a Virtual Rulemaking Hearing Guide that provides more information for participants
Proposed Rules:
- Rule 39-26-734–1. Declared Wildfire Disaster Rebuild Exemption Refund Rate. The purpose of this rule is to explain how the sales and use tax exemptions allowed by section 39-26-734(3)(a), C.R.S., and related refunds will be calculated with respect to qualified residential structures that are outside the Regional Transportation District, the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District, or both. The Department anticipates adopting an emergency rule on this topic within the next week.
- Rule 39-26-102(11). Rooms and Accommodations. The purpose of the proposed revisions to this rule is to resolve two concerns raised by the Office of Legislative Legal Services in the course of their review under section 24-4-103(8)(d), C.R.S. Specifically, the term “trailer coach” is added to the list of places that may contain a “room.” Although section 39-26-102(11), C.R.S., has long included “trailer coach” in the list of taxable rooms and accommodations, this term was never added to the rule. Likewise, the phrase “trailer court or park” in paragraph (2) is being changed to “trailer court and park” to conform with the wording of section 39-26-102(11), C.R.S.
