If you're involved in the cannabis industry, you're likely aware of the significance of Section 280E in the tax code. This provision presents a major challenge for cannabis entrepreneurs and businesses by limiting certain deductions, but it doesn’t have to be a roadblock to success. Compliance with 280E is crucial for the long-term sustainability of cannabis businesses.

Join us for an in-depth webinar where we’ll explore the details of Section 280E, how it currently affects cannabis companies, and strategies for managing its impact. We’ll also cover refund and return scenarios that may apply specifically to cannabis operations, providing valuable insights into how businesses can navigate these tax hurdles.
