Course Overview

Diving into the realm of cannabis taxation can feel like navigating a twisty labyrinth—especially for small business consultants and tax specialists. While an increasing number of states have embraced cannabis legalization with open arms, the harsh reality is that federal law still treats its sale as illegal. This creates a distinctive set of hurdles for those engaged in the production and sale of cannabis products. Grasping the tax rules governing these ventures is crucial for delivering insightful guidance to your clients. Are you prepared to unravel these complexities and help cannabis businesses flourish?

As the wave of cannabis legalization sweeps nationwide, consultants must remain vigilant about the intricate tax ramifications facing retailers and manufacturers. Taxpayers involved in these enterprises grapple with challenging questions about the deductibility of expenses and adherence to specific Internal Revenue Code regulations. Additionally, new ventures may wear two hats as retailers and manufacturers, adding another layer of intricacy to the mix.

Key topics covered:

  • Overview of Cannabis Taxation
  • Federal vs. State Regulations
  • Tax Deductibility Challenges Explained
  • Compliance for Retail Operations
  • Navigating Manufacturing Tax Rules

By the conclusion of this course, you will confidently navigate the specific tax rules relevant to cannabis enterprises, including their reporting obligations and the disparities between federal and state tax treatments. Don’t let this golden opportunity slip away—expand your knowledge and enable your clients to thrive in this booming industry!

I appreciate the instructor's teaching style, and the information provided. This covered the course objectives and provided what I think of as a basic overview. After taking this class, I feel that I need further instruction to assist any taxpayer in the cannabis industry and that a workshop would be better for learning the material as it is complex. I actually look for this instructor when selecting my CE classes.
