Tax And Accounting Solutions For Harvesters

Every type of business involved in the cultivation and sale of cannabis is subject to the challenges of complying with financial and tax regulations. Due to the unique legal nature of cannabis-based products in the United States, keeping up with laws regarding tax filing, accounting and bookkeeping is far more complex than it is in other industries. The good news is that Cannabis CPA is here to provide comprehensive tax and accounting solutions for harvesters that are backed by our extensive expertise and our network of experts. Whether you have a large growing operation that includes harvesting or are independent harvester specialists, we can help you manage your finances.

Even though medicinal and/or recreation cannabis use is legal in many states, the federal government still considers it a Schedule I controlled substance. This means companies that buy and sell cannabis products must contend with serious restrictions. Specifically, Tax Code § 280E prohibits them from making “ordinary” business deductions when filing their taxes, meaning they effectively pay higher effective tax rates than other industries.

Making things more complicated is the fact that harvesters may be able to make some deductions at the state level, but not at the federal level. This is why it pays to have us serving as financial consultants for harvesters can make a lot of sense. With our help, harvesters can reduce their tax liability as much as possible and improve their financial standing.
