When to register for tax collection

See Thresholds 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.

Remote sellers must register to collect and remit 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.

Other taxes

We also support:

  • Colorado 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. There is no revenue threshold; all licensed retailers in Colorado must collect this fee, irrespective of their sales volume.

Register to collect tax

  • General information about Sales and Use tax in Colorado
  • How to register

After you’ve registered to collect tax in Colorado, go to Registrations to add your registrations to Stripe in the Dashboard. This turns on tax calculation and collection in Stripe for your transactions in Colorado.

Learn how to add your registration in the Dashboard.

How we calculate taxes

Stripe calculates the taxes that apply to your customer’s location.

For businesses based in Colorado, Stripe calculates tax in all local jurisdictions that levy tax, including home rule cities. Home rule cities are cities that administer and collect their own sales tax.

For remote (out-of-state) businesses, Stripe calculates tax for all local jurisdictions that are state administered and the home rule cities that enacted a state-wide economic nexus threshold. This means that Stripe won’t calculate tax for the few home rule cities that haven’t adopted economic nexus.

Report and file your taxes

Stripe provides reports of your completed tax transactions. Go to Registrations to access these reports.

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.

Location reports

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.

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.
