Medical Cannabis Payment Solutions Comments on IRS Fines for Cannabis Businesses
LAS VEGAS --(Business Wire)--
Medical Cannabis Payment Solutions (OTC Bulletin Board, REFG), a leader
in technological solutions for the medical cannabis industry, commented
today on the recent tax court challenge to the Internal Revenue Service
practice of assessing a 10 percent penalty on federal employee
withholding taxes paid in cash.
"Medical cannabis businesses unable to access banking services are
effectively forced into this situation," said Sean Hullinger, chief
legal officer for Medical Cannabis Payment Solutions. "Here we have a
company that wants to pay their taxes and is being fined for things they
cannot control."
Despite their best efforts, state lawmakers and regulators have been
unable to provide the financial and banking services the industry needs.
Earlier this year, Medical Cannabis Payment Solutions announced it found
a legal framework alleviating federal and banking industry concerns
regarding the medical cannabis industry. The solution enables banking
and payment processing for the legitimate medical cannabis market.
"We are in the process of providing the medical cannabis industry with
the solution to these problems," said Jeremy Roberts, CEO of Medical
Cannabis Payment Solutions. "I fully expect our fully developed platfor
to be available in each state where medical cannabis is legal."
