Simultaneously, we are seeing an uptick in state-level tax audits for cannabis industry market participants. Learn how to advise your clients to avoid additional scrutiny on the front end, how to prepare for an audit, and how to position your client for success post-audit. The panel will also take a look at novel state-level tax issues, such as a potency tax, and how that changes the bottom line for our clients.
