 New Colorado Delivery Fee Effective July 1, 2022, Colorado imposes a retail delivery fee on all deliveries including third party deliveries to a location in Colorado with at least one item of tangible personal property subject to state sales or use tax. |
 About the Retail Delivery Fee for the State of Colorado The retailer or marketplace facilitator that collects the sales or use tax on the tangible personal property sold and delivered, including delivery by a third party, is liable to collect and remit the retail delivery fee. Deliveries include when any taxable goods are mailed, shipped, or otherwise delivered by motor vehicle to a purchaser in Colorado. The retail delivery fee is due at the same time as your sales tax return. Returns are generally filed on a monthly basis and must be filed on or before the 20th day of the month following each reporting period. Retailers permitted to file state sales tax returns on a quarterly, annual, or other basis will file the retail delivery fee return on the same schedule. The retail delivery fee will be reported and paid on a new return, the DR 1786 form. The retail delivery fee is collected state-wide, does not need to be separated by jurisdiction, and is calculated per sale. The retail delivery fee is made up of six different fees for a total of .27 cents a sale. The rates are listed above. Retailers with an active sales tax account, a retailer license, and any sales tax liability reported after January 1, 2021, will be automatically registered for a retail delivery fee account by July 1, 2022. This applies to both in-state and out-of-state retailers. There is no license required or registration fee due. |
