Relates to the timeframe for distributors of cannabis products to file tax returns
This bill extends the deadline for cannabis distributors to file quarterly tax returns from the 20th to the 50th day after each quarter ends (February, May, August, November). It directly affects licensed cannabis distributors who must submit tax filings electronically under New York's tax law. The change modifies Section 495 of the tax law to update the filing timeframe, requiring distributors to submit returns showing tax due and required information by the new deadline. The bill is a technical amendment to tax filing procedures with no other policy changes.
