(1) Except as to premiums
that are subject to a federal premium, excise, or stamp tax equal to or in excess of
three percent of net premiums, and except as to premiums on independently
procured insurance on which tax has been paid pursuant to section 10-3-209, 10-5-111, or 10-5-111.5, every insured under a contract procured from an unauthorized
insurer shall pay to the division of insurance before March 1 next succeeding the
calendar year in which the insurance was so effectuated, continued, or renewed a
premium tax of three percent of net premiums charged for the insurance. Such
insurance on subjects resident, located, or to be performed in this state procured
through negotiations or an application, in whole or in part occurring or made within
or from within or outside of this state, or for which premiums in whole or in part are
remitted directly or indirectly from within or outside of this state, is deemed to be
insurance procured, continued, or renewed in this state. The term premium
includes all premiums, membership fees, assessments, dues, and any other
consideration for insurance. If the tax prescribed by this section is not paid within
the time stated, the tax is increased by a penalty of twenty-five percent and by the
amount of an additional penalty computed at the rate of one percent per month or
any part thereof from the date the payment was due to the date paid.

(2) If a policy covers risks or exposures only partially in this state, the tax
payable shall be computed on the portions of the premium which are properly
allocable to the risks or exposures located in this state.

(3) Proration of premium taxes due from an industrial insured under a
contract procured from an unauthorized insurer having property in states other than
Colorado shall be determined by rules and regulations promulgated by the
commissioner using the following criteria where applicable:

(a) Percentage of physical assets in Colorado;

(b) Percentage of employee payroll in Colorado;

(c) Percentage of sales in Colorado;

(d) Percentage of taxable income reportable in Colorado.
