Tax Restructuring
If your existing operating structure was optimized for Section 280E mitigation, now is the time to evaluate whether it will still be tax-efficient after rescheduling.
MGO’s dedicated cannabis tax team can analyze your current structure and identify opportunities to increase deductions, reduce income, simplify accounting, and eliminate unnecessary tax exposures. We will help you develop a strategy specific to your business needs that aligns with your operational goals and any regulatory considerations.
Tax Credits, Incentives, and Deductions
Rescheduling should open cannabis operators to a world of previously unavailable tax benefits.
Our tax professionals can comprehensively review your business operations to uncover tax credits, incentives, and deductions that you may qualify for at the federal, state, and local levels.
Financial and Internal Control Audits
While rescheduling will eliminate the Section 280E tax burden and attract new investors to the cannabis industry, it could also lead to a new regulatory framework.
Our audit services can provide assurance to investors that your company is effectively managing risks, complying with any regulatory changes, and maintaining transparency.
Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A)
The projected wave of investment and increased cash flow resulting from rescheduling means more M&A should be on the horizon.
If your company is considering an M&A deal (either as a buyer or seller), MGO can support your efforts with structuring, financial & tax due diligence, Quality of Earnings (QoE) assessments, accounting integration, strategic guidance, and post-acquisition planning.
