Corporate Income Tax Colorado’s income tax rate is a flat 4.63 percent of Colorado net income, defined as the corporation’s federal taxable income, with some modifications.

State method of apportioning income Colorado is unique among states in that two alternative apportionment formulas have been adopted which allow the taxpayer to choose the method that produces the lesser tax liability.
