Business Wire
Medical Cannabis Payment Solutions integrated banking and
payment processing system for the medical cannabis industry
protects legal marijuana businesses from the IRS's 10 percent cash
payment penalty.
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 platform to be available in each state where
medical cannabis is legal."
