This week, Paul Archer joins the SALTovation podcast to discuss his efforts to simplify Colorado's complex sales tax system, which he describes as a significant burden for businesses. Currently serving as a senior missionary in Nairobi, Kenya, Archer shares his journey from being a business owner to advocating for tax reform. He highlights the challenges of navigating a convoluted tax structure that varies widely across municipalities. Archer’s commitment to change began when he recognized the detrimental effects of the existing sales tax system on local businesses and sought to collaborate with legislators and community leaders. Through his experiences and advocacy, he emphasizes the importance of understanding the disparities in resources and systems between the U.S. and developing countries like Kenya.
