| Q |
How do I acquire tax exempt status? |
| A |
For tax purposes, the Colorado Department of Revenue issues tax exemption certificates for non-profit, charitable, school religious or government organizations. To apply for the Colorado tax exemption certificate, use the Application for Sales Tax Exemption for Colorado Organization (DR 0715). No fee is required for this exemption certificate and it does not expire. All valid non-profit state exemption certificates start with the numbers 98 or 098. Out-of-state organizations should obtain an exemption certificate in their state of business/operation.
Businesses that plan to purchase items for resale without paying sales tax should obtain a Colorado sales tax account by completing the Colorado Sales Tax/Wage Withholding Account Application (CR 0100). The sales tax license enables the business to collect sales tax when they resell the items.
To incorporate your business or non-profit organization, contact the office of the Colorado Secretary of State.
