On April 21,2022, Governor Polis signed Senate Bill SB-22-032 into law. This law impacts the licensing of retailers that are subject to sales and use taxes in local jurisdictions but that do not have a physical presence or only have a limited physical presence in those jurisdictions. The law imposed the following limitations on all local taxing jurisdictions and asserts that it includes home rule municipalities.
- Starting July 1, 2022: Municipalities can no longer charge a fee for a general business license to a retailer that (1) has a state standard retail license, (2) makes retail sales within the local taxing jurisdiction, and (3) either does not have a physical presence in the local taxing jurisdiction or has only an incidental physical presence.
- Starting July 1, 2023: Municipalities can no longer require a retailer, as described above, to separately apply for a general business license. If the municipality requires a general business license, it must automatically issue it at no charge to the retailer using the information provided by the Department of Revenue
