Connecticut Cannabis Business FAQs
What taxes do cannabis businesses pay in Connecticut?
Cannabis operators in Connecticut must comply with state-specific tax rules, including applicable sales taxes, excise taxes, and often local cannabis business taxes. Exact rates and requirements vary by license type and municipality. Staying compliant with the Connecticut Department of Revenue Services is essential to avoid penalties or interruptions to your license.
How does Section 280E impact cannabis businesses in Connecticut?
Despite being legal at the state level, cannabis remains federally illegal—triggering IRS Section 280E. This means cannabis businesses in Connecticut cannot deduct ordinary business expenses on federal taxes, with only cost of goods sold (COGS) eligible. Working with a cannabis CPA helps structure your financials to comply with 280E while maximizing allowable deductions.
Why do I need a cannabis CPA in Connecticut?
Generic accountants often lack the knowledge needed for highly regulated industries like cannabis. A cannabis CPA in Connecticut understands state regulations, 280E limitations, local reporting requirements, and industry best practices. They ensure you stay audit-ready and financially organized, while helping you reduce risk and improve profitability.
What financial records do cannabis businesses in Connecticut need to maintain?
To remain compliant, cannabis businesses must maintain detailed inventory records, COGS tracking, sales logs, bank reconciliations, and any state-mandated financial disclosures. A cannabis accountant ensures everything is properly categorized and compliant—saving you time and protecting your license.
