Taxes

TAXATION INFORMATION


Colorado enjoys some of the lowest tax rates for business in the USA. Local taxes follow the same principle. Income taxes, unemployment insurance, workers comp, and sales taxes for business are lower than most states, and fewer types of taxes are levied.

Colorado Rate charts are online at http://www.tax-rates.org/colorado/income-tax . Note: some industries and activities qualify for special tax credits. 

Local municipality taxes commensurate with the region and fair better than the nation.
