Colleagues from the 68 self-collecting sales tax municipalities,
Below are resources for you to use as your city or town moves to adopt the standard sales tax definitions that were developed pursuant to the legislative request made in SB 14-038:
- the final standard definitions;
- a memo providing an update of the project as of August 2021;
- a document that overviews the drafting and stockholder process;
- a Word template for an ordinance amending municipal code pertaining to sales and use tax definitions and exemptions;
- an Excel template for comparing existing with standardized definitions and fiscal impacts; and
- a letter from a coalition of organizations in support of the Standardized Sales Tax Project.
If you have questions or need further assistance, please contact the League 303-831-6411.
