MultiTax Commission

An intergovernmental state tax agency whose mission is to promote uniform and consistent tax policy and administration among the states, assist taxpayers in achieving compliance with existing tax laws, and advocate for state and local sovereignty in the development of tax policy.

Use Tax Information Reporting Work Group

The purpose of this project was to adopt a model, based on Colorado’s sales and use tax notice and reporting statute. Under the proposal, sellers of a product that is delivered into a state who do not collect and remit sales or use tax for that state are required to:

(1) notify purchasers at the time of transaction that tax is not being collected and may be due directly to the department,

(2) provide purchasers an annual report showing their purchases, and

(3) provide the department of revenue an annual report showing total dollar amount of each purchaser’s purchases.

Because Colorado’s law was subject to litigation almost immediately after it was enacted, the work on this project has been suspended pending the outcome of that litigation.  As the litigation has now been resolved, the Uniformity Committee has directed the workgroup to resume work on the project.
