Federal Cannabis Tax Revenue Could Exceed $105 Billion
  • New Frontier Data’s latest report, Cannabis in the U.S. Economy, shows how national legalization under a 15% federal cannabis tax would be a boon for the U.S. Treasury.
  • Under full national legalization, by 2020 sales from plant-touching businesses (producers, processors, and retailers) would exceed $48 billion, generating nearly $11B in federal tax revenues from business taxes ($2.0B), payroll taxes ($4.1B) and a 15% federal retail cannabis tax ($4.8B).
  • Such estimates are based on the growth of the industry under the current demand trajectory but do not include potentially significant added revenue from deregulation of CBD products, new cannabis-derived pharmaceuticals, or U.S. industrialization and commercialization of hemp.
  • The updated report, which includes analysis of the newly passed tax law, is available here.

Cannabis in the U.S. Economy: 2018 Edition
Based on the new tax law passed in December 2017, this report examines three aspects of what full legalization would look like in contrast to the current, state-by-state patchwork of legalized environments, and the anticipated impacts which full nationwide legalization would hold for the U.S. Treasury.

These three aspects include:
  • Federal business taxes on cannabis businesses,
  • Federal payroll withholdings
  • Revenue generated from a national cannabis sales tax of 15%.

The report compares revenues that would be generated under the current state of legalization (forecast over 2017–2025) and a theoretical model of national legalization over the same period, assessing the impact on U.S. Treasury revenue and job creation in the industry.  *Report is not released yet, this is a pre-order*
