Tax Structure Overview

As an LLC, your Colorado cannabis business enjoys pass-through taxation. This means profits and losses are reported on your personal income tax return. However, federal law (Section 280E) significantly restricts deductions for cannabis businesses, making strategic tax planning crucial. Colorado offers its own set of taxes and regulations to navigate. Choosing the right entity structure from the start is key, and Lovie can help analyze your options.
