Bill Overview

Nonprofits presumed charities for sales tax

The law updates who counts as a charitable organization for Colorado sales and use tax. A nonprofit that shows an IRS 501(c)(3) determination letter is presumed to qualify, and the Department of Revenue cannot use a change in that federal status alone to presume it does not qualify. To qualify, groups must be organized and run only for public purposes such as religious, charitable, scientific, literary, educational, or testing for public safety; fostering amateur sports without providing facilities or equipment; or preventing cruelty to children or animals. They cannot let earnings benefit private people, do substantial lobbying, or take part in political campaigns. The law takes effect immediately under the safety clause.
