Hochul Signs Tax Relief Measure For Cannabis Operators In NYC, Finally A Break For Legal Businesses
Governor Kathy Hochul (D) signed a cannabis tax relief measure into law that will help New York City businesses that are not entitled to certain federal tax deductions under federal law. The bill, S7508, from Sen. Luis R. Sepúlveda (D) was approved by the State Senate in June and reached the governor's desk last week.
州长凯西·霍赫尔（D）签署了一项大麻税收减免措施，使之成为法律，该措施将帮助根据联邦法律无权获得某些联邦税收减免的纽约市企业。参议员路易斯·塞普尔韦达（D）提出的名为 S7508 的法案于6月获得州参议院的批准，并于上周送达州长办公桌。
Prior to this law, cannabis companies were not only obliged to pay taxes but could not benefit from deductions under Internal Revenue Code 280E as they are viewed to be engaged in "trafficking in controlled substances (within the meaning of Schedule I and II of the Controlled Substances Act)." The signed bill was drafted to change this.
在这项法律颁布之前，大麻公司不仅有义务纳税，而且无法从《美国国税法》280E的扣除中受益，因为它们被视为从事 “受管制物质的贩运（在《管制物质法》附表一和二的含义范围内）”。起草已签署的法案就是为了改变这种状况。

This bill's summary notes that "deduction for business expenses, incurred by taxpayers authorized by the Cannabis Law to engage in the sale, distribution, or production of adult-use cannabis products or medical cannabis, for purposes of the unincorporated business tax (UBT), the general corporation tax (GCT), and the corporate tax of 2015, commonly referred to as the business corporation tax (BCT)."
该法案的摘要指出，“扣除获大麻法授权的纳税人从事成人用大麻产品或医用大麻产品或医用大麻的销售、分销或生产所产生的商业费用，用于未注册人营业税（UBT）、一般公司税（GCT）和2015年的公司税（通常称为商业公司税（BCT））。”
New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) also supports the law, noted Marijuana Moment.
《大麻时刻》指出，纽约市市长埃里克·亚当斯（D）也支持该法律。
After the numerous setbacks New York's cannabis industry has experienced including multiple lawsuits, delayed licenses and thousands of illicit operators, tax relief is more than welcome.
在纽约的大麻行业经历了无数挫折，包括多起诉讼、许可证延迟和成千上万的非法经营者之后，税收减免非常受欢迎。
The marijuana operators in New York who could benefit from this change are public companies like Cannabist Company Holdings Inc (OTC:CCHWF) (previously Columbia Care), Curaleaf Holdings (OTCQX:CURLF), MedMen Enterprises (OTCQB:MMNFF), Acreage Holdings (OTCQX:ACRHF), Green Thumb Industries (OTCQX:GTBIF), RIV Capital (OTCPK: CNPOF) (which acquired Etain last December), iAnthus Capital Holdings (OTCPK: ITHUF), but also private ones like PharmaCann, Housing Works, Leaflink, etc.
可能从这一变化中受益的纽约大麻运营商是大麻控股公司（场外交易代码：CCHWF）（前身为哥伦比亚医疗保险）、Curaleaf Holdings（OTCQX: CURLF）、MedMen Enterprises（OTCQB: MMNFF）、Acreage Holdings（OTCQX: ACRHF）、Green Thumb Industries（OTCQX: GTBIF）、RIV Capital（OTCQB: CURLF）等上市公司 CPK：CNPOF）（去年12月收购了Etain）、ianThus Capital Holdings（场外交易代码：ITHUF），还有PharmacAnn、Housing Works、Leaflink等私人公司。
