    California’s Best Cannabis Related Tax Audit Experts

    Across the nation, both public opinion and legal regulations toward marijuana and cannabis related businesses are changing faster than ever. As new laws are passed, new opportunities are emerging for cannabis-related business owners — but along with them come increased complications when it comes to tax audits and government agency involvement.

    At Leading Tax Group, we have committed hundreds of hours to studying changing marijuana tax laws and can help you navigate the complex waters of cannabis tax audits in California.

    Why Tax Audit Representation Matters

    While cannabis related businesses are now legal in 29+ states — California being among the first — there are still a massive amount of intricacies and complications that pertain ONLY to marijuana businesses in California. The government may deem marijuana businesses legal, but that certainly won’t stop them from making business owners pay dearly just because they can!

    In fact, when it comes to cannabis, it is not just the IRS that business owners need to worry about. California marijuana business owners can also be audited heavily by the Franchise Tax Board (FTB), the Board of Equalization (BOE), and Employment Development Department (EDD). Needless to say, arming yourself with an experienced team of skilled tax professionals is critical to protect yourself and your business!
