2998	2998	3 Sec. 60-10. Tax imposed.
2999	2999	4 (a) Beginning September 1, 2019, a tax is imposed upon the
3000	3000	5 privilege of cultivating cannabis at the rate of 7% of the
3001	3001	6 gross receipts from the first sale of cannabis by a
3002	3002	7 cultivator. The sale of any product that contains any amount
3003	3003	8 of cannabis or any derivative thereof is subject to the tax
3004	3004	9 under this Section on the full selling price of the product.
3005	3005	10 The Department may determine the selling price of the cannabis
3006	3006	11 when the seller and purchaser are affiliated persons, when the
3007	3007	12 sale and purchase of cannabis is not an arm's length
3008	3008	13 transaction, or when cannabis is transferred by a craft grower
3009	3009	14 to the craft grower's dispensing organization or infuser or
3010	3010	15 processing organization and a value is not established for the
3011	3011	16 cannabis. The value determined by the Department shall be
3012	3012	17 commensurate with the actual price received for products of
3013	3013	18 like quality, character, and use in the area. If there are no
3014	3014	19 sales of cannabis of like quality, character, and use in the
3015	3015	20 same area, then the Department shall establish a reasonable
3016	3016	21 value based on sales of products of like quality, character,
3017	3017	22 and use in other areas of the State, taking into consideration
3018	3018	23 any other relevant factors.
3019	3019	24 (a-5) Beginning January 1, 2026, a tax is imposed upon the
3020	3020	25 privilege of processing hemp-derived intoxicating products at

3032	3032	2 manufacturer's sale of a hemp-derived intoxicating product to
3033	3033	3 a craft grower or infuser. The sale of any hemp-derived
3034	3034	4 intoxicating product as defined in the Hemp Consumer Products
3035	3035	5 Act is subject to the tax under this Section on the full
3036	3036	6 selling price of the product. The Department may determine the
3037	3037	7 selling price of the hemp-derived intoxicating product when
3038	3038	8 the seller and purchaser are affiliated persons or when the
3039	3039	9 sale and purchase of a hemp-derived intoxicating product is
3040	3040	10 not an arm's length transaction. The value determined by the
3041	3041	11 Department shall be commensurate with the actual price
3042	3042	12 received for products of like quality, character, and use in
3043	3043	13 the area. If there are no sales of hemp-derived intoxicating
3044	3044	14 products of like quality, character, and use in the same area,
3045	3045	15 then the Department shall establish a reasonable value based
3046	3046	16 on sales of products of like quality, character, and use in
3047	3047	17 other areas of the State, taking into consideration any other
3048	3048	18 relevant factors.
3049	3049	19 (b) The Cannabis Cultivation Privilege Tax imposed under
3050	3050	20 this Article is solely the responsibility of the cultivator
3051	3051	21 who makes the first sale and is not the responsibility of a
3052	3052	22 subsequent purchaser, a dispensing organization, or an
3053	3053	23 infuser. Persons subject to the tax imposed under this Article
3054	3054	24 may, however, reimburse themselves for their tax liability
3055	3055	25 hereunder by separately stating reimbursement for their tax
3056	3056	26 liability as an additional charge.

3142	3142	6 under this Article with the return for the tax under the
3143	3143	7 Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Program Act. If the

3154	3154	18 collecting tax, preparing and filing returns, remitting the
3155	3155	19 tax, and supplying data to the Department upon request. No
3156	3156	20 discount may be claimed by a taxpayer on returns not timely
3157	3157	21 filed and for taxes not timely remitted. No discount may be
3158	3158	22 claimed by a taxpayer for any return that is not filed
3159	3159	23 electronically. No discount may be claimed by a taxpayer for
3160	3160	24 any payment that is not made electronically, unless a waiver

3179	3179	7 shall be disregarded if it is less than $0.50 and shall be

3183	3183	11 ceases to engage in the kind of business that makes the person
3184	3184	12 responsible for filing returns under this Article shall file a
3185	3185	13 final return under this Article with the Department within one
3186	3186	14 month after discontinuing such business.
3187	3187	15 Each taxpayer under this Article shall make estimated
3188	3188	16 payments to the Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd,
3189	3189	17 and last day of the month during which tax liability to the
3190	3190	18 Department is incurred. The payments shall be in an amount not
3191	3191	19 less than the lower of either 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual
3192	3192	20 tax liability for the month or 25% of the taxpayer's actual tax
3193	3193	21 liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year.
3194	3194	22 The amount of the quarter-monthly payments shall be credited
3195	3195	23 against the final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for
3196	3196	24 that month. If any quarter-monthly payment is not paid at the
3197	3197	25 time or in the amount required by this Section, then the

3213	3213	5 minimum payments previously due as provided in this Section.
3214	3214	6 If any payment provided for in this Section exceeds the
3215	3215	7 taxpayer's liabilities under this Article, as shown on an
3216	3216	8 original monthly return, the Department shall, if requested by
3217	3217	9 the taxpayer, issue to the taxpayer a credit memorandum no
3218	3218	10 later than 30 days after the date of payment. The credit
3219	3219	11 evidenced by the credit memorandum may be assigned by the
3220	3220	12 taxpayer to a similar taxpayer under this Act, in accordance
3221	3221	13 with reasonable rules to be prescribed by the Department. If
3222	3222	14 no such request is made, the taxpayer may credit the excess
3223	3223	15 payment against tax liability subsequently to be remitted to
3224	3224	16 the Department under this Act, in accordance with reasonable
3225	3225	17 rules prescribed by the Department. If the Department
3226	3226	18 subsequently determines that all or any part of the credit
3227	3227	19 taken was not actually due to the taxpayer, the taxpayer's
3228	3228	20 discount shall be reduced, if necessary, to reflect the
3229	3229	21 difference between the credit taken and that actually due, and
3230	3230	22 that taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and interest on
