AMCO
Alaska AMCO-aware dispensary platform
Native compliance hooks for Alaska Marijuana Control Office rules. METRC traceability, the unique per-ounce wholesale excise structure ($50/oz mature flower, $25/oz immature, $15/oz trim, $1/clone), no state sales tax, AMCO reconciliation cadence, and the borough-level local sales-tax variance Alaska uniquely imposes.

Tax stack
Excise
Per-ounce wholesale excise paid by cultivators (AS 43.61): $50/oz mature flower, $25/oz immature flower, $15/oz trim, $1/clone. Calculated at producer→retailer transfer, not at retail. CannAgent line-item math handles per-product per-oz computation natively.
Sales / Use
0% — Alaska has NO state sales tax. The per-ounce wholesale excise is the only state tax line; medical operations folded into the same framework (Alaska medical never had a separate-license carve-out).
Local option
Borough-level + city-level sales tax stacks vary widely (Juneau 5%, Sitka 5%, Anchorage 0%, Fairbanks 0%, Mat-Su 0% etc.) — auto-derived per store address. Alaska is unique in having NO state sales tax but borough/city stacks of 0-7% on cannabis retail.
Compliance topics surfaced in-platform
- Age 21+ adult-use ID verification — Alaska does not maintain a separate medical-cannabis-patient lane (medical and adult-use are the same license)
- METRC tag handoff + manifest reconciliation per 3 AAC 306
- Per-ounce wholesale excise calculation at cultivator transfer (rare among POS — most assume retail-tier percentage)
- Daily inventory reconciliation export shaped for AMCO record-keeping
- Borough-and-city sales-tax derivation per store address (Alaska’s borough framework is unusual — boroughs are county-equivalent but cities can stack on top)
What ships on day-1 for AK

- 0% state sales tax handling with borough+city stack derivation
- METRC-shaped inventory + sale receipt mirror
- Daily reconciliation report (auto-runs at close)
- Manager write-up assistant configurable to AK labor + AMCO rule taxonomy
We serve here — honestly
We don’t operate stores in Alaska. We do follow AMCO bulletins, the per-ounce-wholesale-excise compliance topic (rare among POS — most assume retail-tier flat percentage), the no-state-sales-tax-but-borough-stack tax math, and the no-separate-medical-lane license framework. CannAgent ships AK support with the same compliance discipline we apply to WSLCB — and we’ll say it directly when something’s off.
