There has been new legislation passed in California that will be impacting Cannabis Dispensaries, starting January 1, 2023.   

According to the Cannabis Special Notice from the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration, Cannabis dispensaries will:

“Be responsible for collecting the 15 percent cannabis excise tax from their customers based on the gross receipts from the retail sale of cannabis or cannabis products. Gross receipts include the selling price of cannabis or cannabis products (after discount), and all charges related to the sale, such as a delivery fee and any local cannabis taxes listed separately on the invoice or receipt”

(https://www.cdtfa.ca.gov/formspubs/L866.pdf).

Simply put, Wheelhouse, and all cannabis dispensaries in California, are required by law to collect a 15% sales tax from the total sale (including all related charges, like delivery).
