Yes, it is a Colorado tax that will kick-in starting April 1st. There is also an ammo bill going through the state house right now that would place additional hassles & expenses for purchasing ammo or components online & having it shipped.
Up until this new excise tax was enacted we would only be paying the state sales tax rate of 2.9% for online ammo or component shipments. We will now have the 6.5% on top of that for a total of 9.4% plus the hazmat & shipping charges plus the state .29 cent delivery fee on everything we have delivered. Then if you buy in-state at a retail outlet, you'll have to pay the local taxes on top of the others. In some cities or counties this could add up to between 15 to 20% total tax for ammo or components purchases.
This state has gone nuts & the war on guns here continues unabatted.
