Developments with cannabis project at Council
By resolution last week
Tribal Council approved an
intergovernmental tax agree-
ment with the state of Or-
egon.
The state of Oregon im-
poses a 17-percent tax on the
retail sale of cannabis at off-
reservation, licensed retail
stores.
This tax would not apply
to cannabis provided to the
retail store that is grown on
tribal lands, including off-res-
ervation trust land.
This means the state will
have to provide a rebate to
the tribes, when such com-
mence.
This will require a calcu-
lation of the amount of the
cannabis sold to the retail
outlet by the tribes.
The rebate would then be
a calculated by reference to
the amount of overall can-
nabis tax collected by the
state, with an appropriate
percentage rebate to the
tribes.
The Marijuana Tax Inter-
governmental Agreement
follows up the 2016 tribal-
state Intergovernmental
Marijuana Coordination
Agreement.
The tribes are planning a
hemp grow operation at the
Schoenhagen property.
On Monday of next
week, Tribal Council is sched-
uled to meet with Ventures
on proposed tribal hemp
code revisions.
