Gain crucial insights into navigating the complex tax landscape of the cannabis industry.
Businesses in the evolving cannabis industry are subject to federal and state taxes unlike any other industry. These taxes and their enforcement have continued to evolve and today we see new possibilities with the industry challenging federal authority and Congress’ creation of Section 471(c). Attendees of this presentation will gain crucial insights into navigating the complex tax landscape of the cannabis industry. We’ll explore how the Section 471(c) Method of Accounting intersects with Section 280E of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, offering potential solutions to mitigate its impact on COGS. Additionally, we’ll delve into the legal challenges, such as the Gonzales v. Raich case, questioning federal authority over marijuana regulation and its implications for the industry. Finally, we’ll address Uncertain Tax Positions, emphasizing the importance of disclosure and the role of tax opinions. By attending, participants will be equipped to navigate these challenges effectively, ensuring compliance and optimizing financial outcomes.
