Cannabis 305: Tax Strategies - Building the Strongest Tax Toolbox for Cannabis Businesses

July 29, 2020 | | Webinar

Duane Morris and CohnReznick will be hosting the July 29 webinar, "Cannabis 305: Tax Strategies – Building the Strongest Tax Toolbox for Cannabis Businesses," from 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. Eastern.

About the Program

As cannabis businesses navigate the complexities of state and federal regulations for products and services, they should also be aware of the wide range of tax and financial reporting implications. Even as many states have legalized adult-use and medical cannabis, it remains on Schedule I of Controlled Substances Act. The federal Internal Revenue Code Section 280E prohibits deductions and credits for businesses and activities that fall under Schedule I. While 280E tax expense mitigation is a major focus of many cannabis companies, they also must consider the impact to risk and business valuation. Our panel of tax professionals will provide guidance and strategies for cannabis businesses to maximize saving opportunities and minimize risk. Topics to be discussed include:

  • Section 280E – Achieving balance between maximizing tax efficiencies and minimizing risk
  • Preparing for federal tax examinations
  • Update on current tax litigation, litigation risks and mitigation
  • Preparing for due diligence; financial statement audit process
  • Tax structuring considerations; entity selection and planning for the future
