January 2020 | mjbizdaily.com 31 Arkansas Officials from the Arkansas Alcoholic Beverage Control office said they could begin taking action against inoperable dispensaries at the end of January, but the rule enabling them to do so won’t be approved by then. Instead, state officials said medical cannabis licenses might not be reissued when they are up for renewal in June. Marijuana commissioners have expressed frustration about how long it is taking the state’s 32 dispensaries to open. As of early December, only 11 dispensaries were operating. California State officials announced an increase in excise and cultivation taxes on marijuana, effective Jan. 1. The California Department of Tax and Fee Admin- istration, which must recalculate the wholesale cannabis markup rate every six months, revealed that the markup rate for the marijuana excise tax will increase from 60% to 80%. The markup rate is used to provide the basis for California’s 15% excise tax. The increase will also raise the state cultivation tax to adjust for inflation, raising those taxes as well: • $9.65 from $9.25 for an ounce of flower, or an increase of 4.3%. • $2.87 from $2.75 for an ounce of leaves, or an increase of 4.3%. • $1.35 from $1.29 for an ounce of fresh marijuana plant material, or an increase of 4.6%.
