BILL HB10-1060

Severance Tax Witholding


Under current law, a producer or purchaser who disburses funds to an interest owner is generally required to withhold one percent of the gross income and to pay such amount to the department of revenue. By rule, the department also requires the producer or purchaser to file an annual report with the department reflecting such payments. The bill establishes a penalty for failing to make the payment that is equal to 10% of the payment owed or $50, whichever is the greater amount, plus interest on the payment owed. The bill also establishes a penalty for failing to file the annual report required by the department that is equal to 30% of the amount of withholding that should have been reflected in the report or $5,000, whichever is the lesser amount.

industry as "modified off-the-shelf software"; and

(b) Tax information technology services or custom software
where those services or software constitute what is known in the industry
as "pure" custom software, including software designed and developed

(2) The general assembly further finds and declares that House
Bill 10-1192, enacted in 2010, is intended to allow developers of

Currently, the enterprise zone investment tax credit (credit) allows a taxpayer to claim an income tax credit that is equal to a percentage of the taxpayer's total qualified investment in qualified property during an income tax year, as long as the investment is in property that is used solely and exclusively in an enterprise zone for at least one year. A taxpayer is allowed to claim the credit for the first $5,000 of income tax liability, plus an amount equal to 50% of the taxpayer's tax liability in excess of $5,000, to the extent permitted by the amount of the qualified investment. A taxpayer is allowed to carry forward the credit for 12 income tax years after the year in which the full amount of the credit was unused. For the 2011, 2012, and 2013 income tax years, the bill limits the amount of the credit that a taxpayer may claim to $250,000 and requires that a taxpayer defer claiming any amount of the credit allowed that exceeds $250,000 to the 2014 income tax year. The bill allows a taxpayer that deferred claiming any credit in excess of $250,000 to carry forward the credit for 12 income tax years after the year the credit was originally allowed, plus one additional year for each year that the taxpayer had to defer claiming the credit in excess of $250,000.

BILL HB10-1328


Section 1 of the bill creates the Colorado new energy improvement district (district) as an independent public body corporate and a public instrumentality performing an essential public function, clarifies that, under applicable Colorado supreme court case law, the district is not subject to the provisions of the taxpayer's bill of rights, and specifies the qualifications, manner of appointment, and terms of the board of directors of the district. Section 1 of the bill also specifies that the purpose of the district is to help provide the special benefits of new energy improvements to owners of eligible real property who voluntarily join the district by establishing, developing, financing, and administering a new energy improvement program (program) in counties that have approved the conduct of the program by the district through which the district can provide assistance to any such owner in completing a new energy improvement by providing reimbursement or a direct payment for all or a portion of the cost of completing a new energy improvement and further specifies the powers and duties of the district, including but not limited to the power to:
* Develop and implement a process by which an owner of eligible real property may join the district;
* Impose special assessments on eligible real property included in the district; and
* Issue bonds payable from the special assessments for the purpose of generating the moneys needed to make a reimbursement or a direct payment to district members for all or a portion of the cost of completing new energy improvements. Section 1 of the bill also requires the public utilities commission to:
* Determine the extent to which the marketing, promotional, and other efforts of a utility for which the commission has developed demand-side management targets or goals have contributed to energy efficiency improvements funded by the district; and
* Allow a utility to count the related energy savings towards compliance with the targets or goals using any method deemed appropriate by the commission. Section 2 of the bill requires the state auditor to conduct or cause to be conducted an annual performance audit and an annual financial audit of the district and the program and prepare and present to the legislative audit committee an annual report and recommendations on each audit conducted. Section 3 of the bill makes a conforming amendment.

BILL SB10-162


The "Urban and Rural Enterprise Zone Act" (act) specifies limitations on the population of an area that may be included in an enterprise zone but does not include a standard method of calculating the population. The bill specifies that the population of an enterprise zone shall be calculated using data from the most recent federal decennial census at the county, municipal, or block levels and that the calculations that require the use of block level data shall include the entire population of each block in which the enterprise zone is included. In addition, the bill increases the population limitation for an urban enterprise zone from 80,000 to 115,000 people and increases the limitation for a rural enterprise zone from 100,000 to 150,000 people to account for population growth that has occurred since 1986 when the population limits were established and to account for new standardized methodology. Currently, the state auditor is required to use 6 broad economic indicators when evaluating the effectiveness of the act in an audit. The current factors are too broad to be utilized to determine the impact of an enterprise zone. The bill eliminates the requirement that the state auditor use the 6 indicators and instead creates a new pre-certification process that a taxpayer is required to follow if the taxpayer intends to claim an enterprise zone income tax credit pursuant to the act in order to demonstrate that the act has an impact on the taxpayers' decisions. Currently, a taxpayer's business may earn an income tax credit pursuant to the act by:
* Being located in the enterprise zone; and
* Performing an activity that is eligible for an enterprise zone income tax credit, regardless of whether the availability of the income tax credit had any demonstrable impact on the taxpayer's decision to start, relocate, or expand the business in the enterprise zone. The bill requires a taxpayer to complete a pre-certification process prior to beginning and completing any activity for which a taxpayer intends to claim an income tax credit pursuant to the act to ensure that the income tax credits allowed pursuant to the act have an impact on taxpayers' business decisions. The bill directs the department of revenue (department) to include a section for the pre-certification data on the enterprise zone income tax credit certification forms that the department currently uses. Currently, some enterprise zone administrators charge a fee to programs, projects, and organizations (contribution projects) that have been approved by the Colorado economic development commission (commission). Current statute does not provide any authority or limitation regarding the fees, and, consequently, the fee policies vary from one enterprise zone to another. The bill requires each enterprise zone administrator that charges fees to create a policy regarding the fees and to submit the policy to the commission for approval. The commission must review each policy submitted by an enterprise zone administrator. The bill directs the Colorado office of economic development (office) to work with the commission and the department to develop the capability, if there is no fiscal impact, to allow taxpayers that intend to claim one or more income tax credits pursuant to the act to submit pre-certification forms, certification forms, and required reporting information in an electronic format. The bill requires the department to aggregate and report data collected regarding tax credits claimed pursuant to the act, categorized by the date that the tax credit was authorized, the specific tax credit allowed pursuant to the act that each taxpayer was authorized to claim, and the total amount of the tax credits claimed for each tax credit allowed pursuant to the act. The bill requires the department to submit the data to the office on an annual basis.
