HB 24-1065

HB 24-1065, which has been signed into law, reduces the state income tax rate in Colorado. Starting from January 1, 2025, both individuals and corporations will pay a lower tax rate of 4.0% instead of the current 4.40%. This change means that taxpayers and businesses will see their taxes decrease by 0.4 percentage points starting next year. The bill also removes the requirement for a performance statement when making these changes to the tax code, which simplifies the process for future adjustments.

Official Summary
