Did you know that you can’t claim cannabis business expenses? Taxes for cannabis industry businesses are a nightmare. Tax Code Sec. 280e prevents any sort of business write-offs for those dealing with illicit substances. Unfortunately, according to the Controlled Substances Act of 1970, cannabis is still considered a dangerous, illegal drug. Here’s what you need to know about 280e and how to find help.
Cannabis businesses can’t claim expenses

Tax code 280e places restrictions on the cannabis industry that are not faced by other businesses. The federal government prohibits cannabis businesses from claiming basic expenses like rent, supplies, or salaries on their taxes.
This forces businesses into a 40 to 90% tax rate. By comparison, the corporate tax rate is 35%. Though, some suggest that some large corporations pay a tax rate as low as 12.5%.
280e was enacted prior to any sort of major medical or recreational cannabis reform, in an effort to crack down on drug dealers. In fact, the law was enacted after a drug dealer successfully claimed travel costs on as business expenses.
Now, however, the difference between being a legitimate business and a drug dealer is whether or not you pay your taxes, and whether or not they’re done right.
