Oregon tax charges highlight ongoing risk for marijuana companies
A pair of tax-related cases announced in Oregon have refocused the spotlight on the risks marijuana companies run if they’re not transparent with the Internal Revenue Service.
According to The Oregonian and The Register-Guard, a Portland dispensary co-owner has been charged with tax evasion related to at least two MJ retail shops the company runs, while a certified public accountant was also charged with tax evasion and wire fraud in connection with a cannabis cultivation venture he owns.
