Ep. 88: A Closer Look at Tax Code 471 and the Challenges with Cannabis Inventories


Listen Later

Legally reducing tax liabilities for Cannabis companies hinges upon compliance with one vastly misunderstood tax code: IRC 471.

Cannabis companies are not allowed any deductions or credits, and courts penalize them for messy records. According to 280E, any business associated with the "trafficking" of Schedule 1 substances may not deduct ordinary business expenses (like rent, vehicle expenses, mortgage interest, and much more). This means that the only way Cannabis companies can lower taxable income is by correctly allocating costs to inventory and Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) in compliance with 471.

In this podcast, Andrew Hunzicker, CPA, goes over:

🌿The definition of 280e and what it means for your clients.

🌿How you can use tax code 471 to get legal deductions for your clients.

🌿The biggest challenges with Cannabis inventories.
