Cannibas companies have faced regulations since 2009 and the IRS is heavily focused on examinations of these companies.
There is a section of the code that disallows someone selling Schedule I narcotics from deducting their expenses and taking credits. The legislative history of this section says that the only deductions that are allowed are cost of goods sold, and the thought is that there is an indication that denial of the cost of goods sold deduction would be unconstitutional. This leaves a high tax burden on these businesses with no deduction of the expenses related to advertising expenses, and operation of the retail facility. Watch this video for litigation updates and a discussion on the impact of tax reform.
