The Colorado Enterprise Zone Program creates a business friendly environment in economically distressed areas by offering incentives to businesses and projects in such areas. If your business is located in one of the 17 different Colorado Enterprise Zones, you may be eligible to claim various Colorado tax credits based on your purchases of qualified equipment, facility expansion, the hiring new employees and many other business activities.
Pre-certification can be filed at any time prior to commencing the activity. The process is very simple and takes less than 15 minutes. In addition, if you don’t perform activities during the year that would earn you any of the respective credits you have no further commitments.
