Excise
10.75% Massachusetts state cannabis excise on adult-use retail sales (M.G.L. c. 64N). Medical cannabis is excise-exempt. Excise applies to gross retail receipts at point-of-sale.
Sales / Use
6.25% Massachusetts state sales tax — applied to adult-use retail sales on top of the 10.75% excise. Medical cannabis is sales-tax-exempt under separate statute.
Local option
Up to 3% local cannabis sales tax — adopted by most municipalities by ordinance under M.G.L. c. 64N §3. Auto-tagged per store address; rates published by DOR.

We serve here — honestly
We don’t operate stores in Massachusetts. We do follow CCC bulletins, the 10.75 + 6.25 + local-3 tax-stack pain, the METRC-cadence reporting requirements, and the social-equity priority program framework. CannAgent ships MA support with the same compliance discipline we apply to WSLCB — and we’ll say it directly when something’s off.
