Cannabis News

The cannabis industry is on the verge of significant changes with the potential rescheduling of cannabis at the federal level. This could bring about a myriad of federal tax implications that you need to be aware of. However, it’s important to note that as of now, nothing has been signed into law.

For our cannabis clients who are operating plant-touching businesses, this means that you should continue to comply with the current tax regulations, specifically the 280E taxes. The IRS Section 280E disallows deductions and credits for amounts incurred in the business of trafficking certain controlled substances, including cannabis. This shift would be a tremendous win for the industry, but until it becomes law and the IRS issues new guidance, we do not recommend making any changes to your business. Our Cannabis CPA’s who Care are here to talk you through any questions you have!

Reach out to your CJBS advisor for any questions you may have as we look ahead to 3rd quarter.

Stay safe & healthy,

The CJBS Team
