MEET THE NYCCA

Cannabis Accountants working

We know accounting for cannabis

NYCCA is a network of accountants and finance professionals who work with cannabis businesses in New York State. As like-minded professionals passionate about the New York cannabis market, we come together to share ideas, updates, and connections. Accountants are the financial stewards of New York cannabis, and as such, we are focused on the success of the new legal market.

What’s the big deal about cannabis taxes?

Because cannabis businesses traffic a federally-illegal drug, they are not allowed to take normal business deductions on their federal income tax return. As a result, the applicable tax rate is applied to a much higher number, and tax bills are prohibitively larger than other, non-cannabis businesses. There is a lot of nuance to this, related to the entity structure and type of business for example. NYCCA often consults on this topic at events so that entrepreneurs can understand what decisions they need to make, and why, during the earliest stages of their specific business.
