# Collect tax in the United States Learn how to use Stripe Tax to calculate, collect, and report tax in the US. Businesses selling goods and services to customers in the United States (US) might need to collect sales tax. Tax rates and rules vary by region. For each state and territory below, you can find information about registration thresholds, supported tax calculations, and relevant resources. Select a region to see specific details. - **Status** - None No transactions - **Tax type** - Sales tax (including seller use tax) - Other local taxes (for example, Retail Delivery Fee) - **Threshold** 100,000 USD - **Included transactions** Retail sales, including sales of services - **Registration resources** [Colorado Department of Revenue](https://tax.colorado.gov/how-to-apply-for-a-colorado-sales-tax-license) ## When to register for tax collection In Colorado, Stripe Tax supports the calculation and collection of sales tax (including seller use tax) and additional tax types. See the [Needs attention](https://dashboard.stripe.com/tax/locations?primary_tab=needs_attention) tab to get insights about your potential tax registration obligations in Colorado. Stripe also notifies you with email and Dashboard alerts when you need to register to collect tax. Learn more about how the [monitoring tool works](https://docs.stripe.com/tax/monitoring.md). ### Sales tax Remote sellers must register to collect and remit sales tax in Colorado when, in the previous or current calendar year, they exceed a sales threshold of 100,000 USD. The threshold includes retail sales, including sales of services, whether taxable or nontaxable. The threshold excludes wholesale sales (sales for resale) and marketplace sales. If your **head office** in the [tax settings page](https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/tax) of the Dashboard is in Colorado, you’re not a remote seller and you must register due to your physical presence in the state. ### Local home rule sales tax Some cities in Colorado are home rule, meaning they administer and collect taxes separately from the state and state-administered local taxes. Remote sellers must register to collect and remit sales tax to most home rule cities when, in the previous or current calendar year, they exceed a state-wide sales threshold of 100,000 USD. However, not all home rule cities have enacted the state-wide sales threshold rule. This means you may need to register and file returns directly with these cities, in addition to your state-level obligations. Stripe only calculates local home rule city taxes where you’ve added a registration. You must manually add a registration for each home rule city where you want to collect tax. To view supported jurisdictions, see [Registration types](https://docs.stripe.com/tax/registering.md?state=CO&type=home_rule_tax#registration-types). Home rule tax registrations aren’t available for Custom or Express [Connect](https://docs.stripe.com/connect.md) accounts. For these account types, the Colorado state registration includes all jurisdictions in the state. ### Other taxes Stripe Tax also supports the calculation and collection of: - [Colorado Retail Delivery Fee](https://tax.colorado.gov/retail-delivery-fee) applies to businesses making retail deliveries of taxable tangible personal property to customers in Colorado. All motor vehicle deliveries that include at least one taxable item require this fee. Review [liability requirements](https://tax.colorado.gov/retail-delivery-fee-retailers). There is no revenue threshold. - Admissions taxes in many [Colorado local jurisdictions](https://docs.stripe.com/tax/registering.md?registrationTypeRegion=united-states&state=CO#registration-types). These taxes apply to participant and spectator based entertainment or recreational activities. Stripe doesn’t include transactions for this tax in its threshold monitoring. ## Register to collect tax If you’re a remote seller, [Stripe can register with the local tax authorities](https://docs.stripe.com/tax/use-stripe-to-register.md) for you. Register for sales tax in Colorado at the tax authority: - [General information about Sales and Use tax in Colorado](https://tax.colorado.gov/sales-use-tax) - [How to register](https://tax.colorado.gov/how-to-apply-for-a-colorado-sales-tax-license) Read more about registering for [sales tax in the US](https://stripe.com/guides/sales-tax-registration-process-us). You can also use [Stripe to register on your behalf](https://docs.stripe.com/tax/use-stripe-to-register.md). After registering, [add your registration](https://docs.stripe.com/tax/registering.md#track-your-registrations-in-the-tax-dashboard) in the [Stripe Dashboard](https://dashboard.stripe.com/tax/registrations?location=us-co) to start collecting tax on your transactions in Colorado. You must add registrations for types other than sales tax, such as the Boulder Admissions Tax, as separate registrations in Stripe. ## How we calculate taxes Stripe calculates the taxes that apply to your customer’s location based on your registrations. State tax and local tax are calculated independently-a state registration doesn’t automatically enable local tax calculation, and local registrations don’t require a state registration. You can hold a state registration, local registrations, or both. ## Report and file your taxes Stripe provides reports of your completed tax transactions. Go to [Locations](https://dashboard.stripe.com/tax/locations) to access these reports. ### Filing Stripe Tax has filing partners—Taxually, Marosa, and Hands-off Sales Tax (HOST)—to help automate your tax filing. These partners automatically sync your tax transaction data in real time, eliminating the need for manual data entry or file transfers. Learn more about [tax filing](https://docs.stripe.com/tax/filing.md). ### Location reports [Location reports](https://docs.stripe.com/tax/reports.md#us-location-reports) offer a summary of transaction and refund data for specific US locations and align with Colorado filing requirements. You have the option to report on an annual, quarterly, or monthly basis. ### Exports The tax transaction data export provides a comprehensive and aggregated view of transactions by location, including a breakdown of individual tax amounts. Learn more about [tax reporting exports](https://docs.stripe.com/tax/reports.md#exports). ## See also - [Set up Stripe Tax](https://docs.stripe.com/tax/set-up.md) - [Register for sales tax, VAT, and GST](https://docs.stripe.com/tax/registering.md) - [Use Stripe to register](https://docs.stripe.com/tax/use-stripe-to-register.md)
