Greenleaf Currently, a substantial portion of cannabis industry revenue is being lost due to overpayment of taxes. Greenleaf offers a solution to stem this unnecessary and costly negative cash flow out of your business. Section 280E of the Internal Revenue Code prohibits any businesses engaged in trafficking in controlled substances from deducting or receiving a credit for normal business expenses. This limitation unjustly places the cannabis industry at a grave operating disadvantage. |
