McNulty, Stephens, Murray Hailed for Law Repealing Democrat’s Software Tax
DENVER—The CSIA, Colorado’s Technology Association, gave House Speaker Frank McNulty, House Majority Leader Amy Stephens and Majority Caucus Chair Carole Murray their Advocates of the Year Award. The award was given to the Republican legislators because of their work to repeal the Software tax.
In a release, CSIA stated:
“The successful passage of HB1293 to rescind 2010’s HB1192 (additional taxes on software), not only has paved the way for tech companies across the state, but also technology users across every industry.”
House Bill 1291, which was sponsored by Stephens, R-Monument, and Murray, R-Castle Rock, repealed one of the Dirty Dozen tax increases that Democrats pushed through the legislature in 2010.
“Republicans did in one year, what Democrat’s couldn’t do in the last four—balanced the budget without raising taxes,” said McNulty, R-Highlands Ranch. “In fact, Republicans not only balanced the budget without raising taxes, we actually repealed several of the unconstitutional Democrat taxes, like the software tax.”
After receiving the award, Stephens said, “Voters trusted Republicans with control of the House of Representatives, because they wanted real solutions to get our economy back on track. Repealing the software tax will save every business in Colorado money.”
Murray added:
“By repealing this onerous tax, we are correcting a bad policy that specifically targeted job creators. By lifting this burden, small businesses will have an easier time growing and creating jobs.”
The law went into effect on July 1, 2011.
