About the Reports
The Marijuana Tax Reports show state marijuana tax and fee revenue collected monthly as posted in the Colorado state accounting system. Tax revenue comes from the state sales tax (2.9%) on marijuana sold in stores, the state retail marijuana sales tax (15%) on retail marijuana sold in stores, and the state retail marijuana excise tax (15%) on wholesale sales/transfers of retail marijuana. Fee revenue comes from marijuana license and application fees.
The Marijuana Tax Revenue Report shows monthly state marijuana tax and fee revenue totals for the state. The Marijuana Tax Revenue by County Report shows monthly state marijuana sales tax (2.9%) and state retail marijuana sales tax (15%) revenue by county.
New Report Format in 2022! The monthly reports are now replaced with just two reports that have data from every month since 2014.
