The amount of credit a taxpayer can use for a given tax year is limited. If the credit allowed to the taxpayer exceeds these limits, the taxpayer can generally carry forward the excess credit for application toward the tax due for subsequent tax years. The amount of credit a taxpayer can use in a given tax year is the lesser of:
- the taxpayer’s net tax liability
- the sum of $5,000 plus 50% of the taxpayer’s tax net liability in excess of $5,000
- $750,000
The $750,000 limit applies to:
- any credit applied toward tax
- any refund the taxpayer receives for a renewable energy investment
- the combined total of credit applied and refund claimed by the taxpayer for the tax year
If a taxpayer claims a $750,000 refund for a renewable energy investment, the taxpayer cannot apply any credit toward tax for the same tax year. The $750,000 limit does not apply to any credit the taxpayer has carried forward from a tax year prior to 2014.
Relocation and expansion
Generally your business may not be eligible for this tax credit if you relocated a business operation from elsewhere in Colorado to the enterprise zone, even if you moved from one enterprise zone to another. Once you establish your business in the new location, new investments will qualify for the investment tax credit. This restriction also applies to assets purchased while relocating part of a facility.
However, if your relocation is a qualified expansion facility, your resulting investments will qualify for the enterprise zone investment tax credit, even if your business qualified as a new business facility before relocating.
To qualify, your business needs to have:
- invested at least $1 million in the old facility
- invested fewer than $1 million, but 100% of the investment was in the old facility
- increased employment by 10 employees or 10% over the previous 12-month average

The webinars were followed by two weeks of 1:1 preset meetings between Colorado businesses and potential German business partners.
Canada Virtual Export Trade Mission
June to August 2021
The Canada virtual trade mission focused on introducing Colorado outdoor recreation products and services, including food and beverage products, to the Canadian market.
In Canada, 7 of every 10 Canadians engage in outdoor recreation activities and the sporting goods retail market is estimated to be $5.4 billion. During the pandemic, the popularity of outdoor activities increased, making it a great location for Colorado outdoor companies to expand their products.
Participating companies received one-on-one consultations with Canadian consulting firm CIDEP to research the market specifically for their product as well as matchmaking with interested Canadian companies. Companies were briefed on the outdoor recreation market in Canada, the largest buyers and key players, and the best strategies to get their product into the market.

The State of Colorado has the right to use any or all information/material presented in reply to the Announcement, subject to limitations for proprietary or confidential information. Disqualification or denial of the application does not eliminate this right.
