Businesses are required to collect sales tax if they have a nexus in Colorado and sell to residents of Arapahoe, whether at a physical location or online.
Physical Nexus: This occurs when a business has a tangible presence in the state. Examples include having a store, warehouse, office, or employees in Colorado. If your business operates any of these within the state, then it means you have a physical nexus and you must collect sales tax from customers in Arapahoe.
