The regular session ends May 8.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis historic income tax cut is the type of relief the people of Colorado have asked us to deliver and I\u2019m grateful to help make it happen,\u201d Senate Minority Leader Paul Lundeen, R-Monument, and one of the bill\u2019s sponsors, said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>The 42-page Senate bill would create additional income tax reductions through the Taxpayer\u2019s Bill of Rights. The bill also would reduce sales and use taxes, which are part of the current TABOR refund methods. The bill would temporarily reduce the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/irs-revokes-north-carolina-naacps-tax-exempt-status\/\" title=\"IRS Revokes North Carolina NAACP\u2019s Tax-Exempt Status\">state income tax rate<\/a> from 4.4% to 4.25%.<\/p>\n<p>For 2025 to 2035 tax years, the bill would implement seven triggers to temporarily reduce the tax rate. The benchmarks range from .04% if state revenues are above $300 million but less than or equal to $500 million to .15% if excess revenues are above $1.5 billion.<\/p>\n<p>The Senate bill also creates a fourth TABOR refund mechanism. It would cut the state sales and use taxes by .13% if excess state revenues are equal or greater than $1.5 billion.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile the cost of living continues to reach unfathomable highs, the legislature has a responsibility to do everything it can to keep Coloradans\u2019 tax dollars in their pockets where they belong,\u201d Lundeen said. \u201cBy making these necessary changes to the TABOR refund mechanism, we are ensuring over $450 million of Coloradans hard earned dollars will stay in their pockets, instead of being filtered through the hands of state government.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The 25-page House bill would modify two existing state income tax credits for child care expenses. It streamlines the two into one credit for tax years beginning on Jan. 1, 2026.<\/p>\n<p>The state earned income tax credit would increase when claimed by an individual as a percentage of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/newsom-raises-minimum-wage-for-healthcare-workers-to-25\/\" title=\"Newsom boosts healthcare workers' minimum wage to .\">federal earned income tax credit<\/a> for all tax years starting Jan. 1, 2024. It would increase to 50% in tax year 2026.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cColorado\u2019s working families and children are counting on us to deliver meaningful tax relief and I\u2019m proud that we are going to deliver on this promise,\u201d Rep. Jenny Williford, D-Northglenn, said in a statement. \u201cThe bill introduced today alongside our package of tax credits will make Colorado more affordable, put money back into the pockets of hardworking people, and help us forge a brighter future for millions of people who call our state home.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The state\u2019s corporate income tax reporting would change under the House bill. The current combined reporting standard would be replaced with a multistate tax commission standard.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two bipartisan bills aim to reduce taxes for Coloradans in the final days of the 2024 legislative session.
