02:44 PM -- House Bill 13-1295 - Concerning the Marketplace Fairness Act of 2013

Representative Ferrandino, prime sponsor, explained the provisions of the bill. He noted that House Bill 13-1295 simplifies the collection of sales taxes from out-of-state retailers to meet the requirements of federal legislation known as the "Marketplace Fairness Act." The Department of Revenue would be responsible for collecting and auditing sales taxes from out-of-state retailers, and distributing this revenue to the appropriate local taxing jurisdiction. Home-rule jurisdictions are not allowed to administer sales taxes from out-of-state retailers under the federal act. Representative Ferrandino closed by saying that sales taxes will be calculated based on the location of where the order was shipped to or the billing address.

After a brief discussion on local control and definitions in the bill, staff was asked to respond to committee questions.
