COMMUNICATIONS

26-1110 A letter dated Friday, July 24, 2026, from Nicole C. Doheny, Manager of

Finance, that in accordance with the Denver Revised Municipal Code Section

53-3(b), the Department of Finance is submitting the Denver City Council a revision

to the Treasury Tax Rule 004. The Treasury Tax Rule 004 has been updated to

align with recent changes to the tax return filing frequencies due based upon sales

volumes that the State of Colorado also adopted. Denver's filing frequency should

match the State's as to when taxes need to be filed to create simplicity for the

business community. The Department of Finance have also updated the

frequencies in which Occupational Privilege tax returns may be filed. These updates

are not expected to result in any cost impacts to the City. They may have very

minimal revenue receipt timing impacts, allowing very small businesses to file less

frequently if they elect to change. In accordance with DRMC 53-3(b)(3), Treasury

Rule 004 will take effect 60 days after this notice, on September 18, 2026.
