In the past quarter staff:
• Collected revenue. For Fiscal Year 21-22, staff have collected $65,025.23 for Quarter 1, $57,390.83 for Quarter 2, $31,312.34 for Quarter 3, and we are beginning to collect for Quarter 4. The total for the year is currently $153,728.40. There continues to be a decrease in revenue due to market conditions.
• Registered a total of 146 businesses in the 21-22 fiscal year.
• Sent out a total of 61 Welcome Packets in the 21-22 fiscal year.
• CDA continues to check the tax status of each business to ensure compliance before renewing permits. Many businesses have been routed to us before being issued permit renewals, which has helped us maintain and improve compliance.
• Sent the signed MOU to the Department of Cannabis Control (DCC) on May 2, which will grant us access to California Track and Trace System (CCTT) Data which will help us to enforce compliance moving forward.
• Attended a tour of local cannabis businesses with individuals from the Ag department, CDA, and the Cannabis Alliance on May 12th. The tour included a cultivation site, a manufacturer, and a distributor.
• Created a new Cannabis Handbook which we are finalizing and will use to distribute to Cannabis Businesses to help them navigate the requirements of the Cannabis Tax program. The handbook incorporates the Reporting and Remittance Guidelines, FAQs, and general information in one place to make it easier for business operators to find information.
