To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Colorado Open Records Act, I hereby request the following records:

I am requesting the release of marijuana tax revenue data by individual licensee. You already list aggregated data at the first link below, but I am looking for data on a individual basis. Washington state has already set a precedent of providing data on individual data at the second link below.

In the event that fees cannot be waived, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Mr Hewitt,

The Colorado Department of Revenue is forbidden by
​Colorado
law to provide taxpayer information, therefore we will not be able to
fulfill your request.

C.R.S. 39-21-113(4)(a) “Except in accordance with judicial order or as
otherwise provided by law, the executive director of the department of
revenue and his agents, clerks, and employees shall not divulge or make
known in any way information obtained from any investigation conducted by
the department or its agents or disclosed in any document, report or return
filed in connection with any of the taxes covered by this article. The
officials charged with the custody of such documents, reports,
investigations, and returns shall not be required to produce any of them or
evidence of anything contained in them in any action or proceeding in any
court, except on behalf of the executive director in an action or
proceeding under the provisions of any such taxing statutes to which the
department is a party or on behalf of any party to any action or proceeding
under the provisions of such taxing statutes when the report of facts shown
thereby is directly involved in such action or proceeding, in either of
which events the court may require the production of, and may admit in
evidence, so much of said reports or of the facts shown thereby as are
pertinent to the action or proceeding and no more.”

​Please let me know if you have additional questions.

Thank you, ​
