Marijuana Tax: Due Dates

(1)

For purposes of all Division 475 department rules, “marijuana retailer” has the meanings given under ORS 475B.015 (Definitions for ORS 475B.010 to 475B.545) and includes:

(a)

A registered medical marijuana dispensary that elects to sell limited marijuana retail products, as defined under section 2, chapter 784, Oregon Laws 2015, from January 4, 2016 through December 31, 2016; or

(b)

A marijuana retailer licensed by the Oregon Liquor Control Commission who sells marijuana items on or after January 4, 2016.

(2)

A marijuana retailer that sells marijuana items, as defined in ORS 475B.015 (Definitions for ORS 475B.010 to 475B.545), must pay all marijuana taxes due for each tax period by the due dates described in ORS 475B.710 (Collection of tax) and this rule. When the due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday or a state legal holiday, the deposit or payment is due on the next business day following such Saturday, Sunday or state legal holiday.

(3)

A marijuana retailer must pay the marijuana tax due in three monthly deposits for each calendar quarter. The first monthly deposit is due on or before the last day of the second month of the calendar quarter; the second monthly deposit is due on or before the last day of the third month of the calendar quarter; and the third monthly deposit is due on or before the last day of the month following the close of the calendar quarter.

(4)

If a marijuana retailer does not make any sales of marijuana items in a particular month of a calendar quarter, the marijuana retailer is not required to remit payment of marijuana tax for that month.

(5)

The marijuana retailer may retain two percent of the amount of tax collected on sales of marijuana items as provided under ORS 475B.745 (Authority to retain portion of tax to pay expenses incurred).

(6)

A marijuana tax deposit for each month in a tax period, as established in subsection (3) of this rule, consists of the total amount of retail sales of marijuana items for that month multiplied by the associated tax rates as defined in ORS 475B.705 (Imposition of tax on retail sale of marijuana items) less two percent referenced in section (5) of this rule.
Example: It’s Easy Being Green, LLC is a marijuana retailer licensed by the Oregon Liquor Control Commission and has $300,000 in April sales resulting in tax liability of $49,980 (($300,000 x .17) x .98) and the deposit of the tax is due on or before May 31. The marijuana retailer’s sales of $250,000 in May result in tax liability of $41,650 (($250,000 x .17) x .98) that is due on or before June 30. And the marijuana retailer’s sales of $325,000 in June result in tax liability of $54,145 (($325,000 x .17) x .98) that is due on or before July 31. All tax calculations in this example exclude two percent of the taxes collected for administrative expenses as allowed by statute.
