I say to let them fail and send the owner to court [jail] for tax evasion. If he wasn't prepared for taxes, then he certainly doesn't have a business plan worthy of surviving. Does he even have a lawyer and an accountant? Enough people are upset as it is with dispensaries opening up that we shouldn't be fueling that fire with things like cheating on taxes, especially when many states are legalizing MMJ in order to increase tax revenues. We need to show legitimacy in business, and severely penalize those who do not comply. I feel it would be good publicity to show we take such matters as a tax cheat seriously.

Also, if I'm not mistaken, donations to pay back taxes are considered income and thus, are taxable themselves.
Bill C Reviewed by Bill C on . the tax man hello. in a recent attempt to close a huge medical cannabis dispensary, the tax man came to collect more than a couple million dollars from back taxes. when said shop does revenue of 12 million dollars in one year, the tax burden appears huge, yet reasonable for doing business. the company not budgeting for these taxes, has left the business in precarious standing. is a bail out from donations in order to save this business, or is it better to fail them for mismanagement, and take the bad Rating: 5
