What is the Colorado Retail Delivery Fee (RDF)?
Colorado imposes a retail delivery fee on deliveries by motor vehicle to a location in Colorado with at least one item of tangible personal property subject to state sales or use tax.
The retailer or marketplace facilitator that collects the sales or use tax on the tangible personal property sold and delivered, including delivery by a third party, is liable to remit the retail delivery fee. Deliveries include when any taxable goods are mailed, shipped, or otherwise delivered by motor vehicle to a purchaser in Colorado.
What retailers are liable for the Colorado RDF?
The retailer or marketplace facilitator that collects the Sales or Use Tax on the tangible personal property sold and delivered, including delivery by a third party, is liable for the Retail Delivery Fee, unless they qualify for the exemption established by Colorado Revised Statutes
In general, a retailer is not liable for the fee if the retailer’s total retail sales in Colorado in the prior year were $500,000 or less. Additionally, a retailer is not liable for the fee if they are not required to collect Colorado State Sales Tax because they have no physical location in Colorado and their total annual retail sales in Colorado are $100,000 or less.
