Corporate Income Taxes

Effective January 1, 2000, Colorado’s corporate income tax rate is a flat 4.63% of Colorado net income, defined as the corporation’s federal taxable income, with some modifications. Colorado ranks 5th nationally for being favorable to business regarding corporate income taxes.

Individual Income Taxes

Colorado personal income tax regulations require every employer to withhold Colorado income tax from the employees’ wages. The tax rate is a flat 5% rate for all levels of taxable income.

Unemployment Insurance Taxes

An employer’s unemployment insurance tax liability is based on the taxable wage base, which is the first $10,000 of each worker’s wage. If covered for the first time, the tax rate is 0.0192 of the wage base or a rate equal to the average for the industry, whichever is greater. Beginning with the third or fourth year of coverage (rate calculations begin on January 1st and three years of data are required), the rate is changed to a computed rate based on the employer’s individual experience.

Workmen’s Compensation Insurance

All employers in Colorado are required to have Workmen’s Compensation coverage for their employees if they have one or more persons engaged in the same business. The rate is based on the risk for the classification of workers employed. Workers compensation insurance is provided by private companies and Pinnacol Insurance, which carries coverage for the majority of Colorado employers.
