    Navigating Marijuana Tax Settlements in California

    Whenever a new industry begins to emerge, we see the same pattern from government agencies. As regulations on legality decrease, regulations on financial responsibilities increase dramatically, leading to widespread audits and more and more tax dollars collected for the state.

    Such is the case right now in the cannabis industry in California. There is tremendous opportunity for business owners due to restrictions on use being softened, however this also means more and more audits and settlements being filed every day. At Leading Tax Group, we want to bring our expertise in marijuana tax law to your business to help you get the most out of your tax settlement and minimize the long-term damage done by government agency interference.

    Why Tax Settlement Representation Matters in California

    Over the past year alone, California has passed multiple new tax laws pertaining specifically to cannabis — including a cultivation tax and a 15 percent excise tax on the purchase of cannabis products. These new laws, on top of the dozens that already exists and single out the cannabis industry, resulted in more than $61 Million in settlement revenue for the state…in the first quarter of 2018 alone!

    Needless to say, tax settlements on cannabis related business in California are a cash cow for the state…which is why any smart business owner should be seeking professional representation immediately!

    Along with the IRS, cannabis related businesses can face audits from a host of other regulatory agencies, including:

    • The Franchise Tax Board (FTB)
    • The Board of Equalization (BOE)
    • The Employment Development Department (EDD).
    • Each of these agencies has the power to investigate and levy penalties, and every settlement comes along with a laundry list of little details that could quickly sink your business. Don’t make the mistake of going it alone.
