This webinar presentation provides useful and relevant information to serve as a guideline for those providing services to marijuana businesses. The information presented is specific to the marijuana industry. Marijuana businesses must adhere to restrictions in internal revenue code section 280E when computing their federal taxable income. §280E disallows all expense deductions for marijuana businesses for federal income tax purposes. However, marijuana businesses operating compliantly under state laws may deduct their cost of goods sold when computing taxable income. Cost of goods, or allowable inventory costs, differ between producers, resellers, and also services providers.
