The Colorado Department of Revenue, Division of Taxation, is hosting a workgroup meeting to solicit input for sales tax rules drafted to implement House Bill 22-1118, which can be found below. The Department has prepared the draft rule below to aid in the process of soliciting public comments. The Department previously convened a workgroup meeting to solicit input from the public and considered that input in drafting these rules. In addition to the draft rules, the Department has also prepared a brief explanation of how the draft rules address certain issues.

The workgroup meeting will take place on August 15, 2023, at 10 a.m. at 1881 Pierce Street, Entrance B, Room 110, Lakewood, CO 80214. Entrance B is on the west side of the building at the northern end. The workgroup meeting will also be available virtually. The Department has created a Virtual Workgroup Guide that provides additional guidance for virtual participants. More information on how to participate in the workgroup is discussed below.

The agenda for the workgroup can be found here.

Draft Rules

What is a workgroup?

A workgroup is a forum for the Department to gather information from the public for the development of new rules or for the revision of existing rules. Workgroups occur in advance of a rulemaking hearing and may or may not incorporate draft rules. The workgroup consists of individuals who have knowledge of the issues being discussed. The workgroup members will be asked to provide their input and insight, along with constructive feedback and suggestions, in an open discussion format.
