A cannabis business must fulfill all state-imposed excise taxes as well as sales taxes and cultivation taxes. Business operations may experience adverse effects from failure to follow CDTFA regulations because of the resulting substantial penalties with interest along with tax liens. New tax laws occurring frequently in California require all cannabis businesses to check for regulatory updates regularly.
While CDTFA allows businesses to operate under the legal perimeter, it constantly audits and checks the businesses that are subject to tax misreporting. It can lead to consequences with exorbitant penalties and, in some instances, the cancellation of licenses. Cannabis businesses need to understand all their tax responsibilities along with making on-time payments because failing to comply will lead to such negative outcomes.
