If the city or county where your dispensary is located passed the additional local sales tax on adult use marijuana you will need to report the sales made on two separate lines of your return. All sales of adult use marijuana should be reported on a separate line of your sales tax return with the item code 7003.
Marijuana dispensaries that are registered with the Department can file their sales tax returns through the MyTax Missouri portal, reporting their sales taxes for their registered locations. When filing online, your locations will be prepopulated with the item codes you are registered for and indicate AMJ. However, sales tax returns can also be sent in by regular or certified mail by filling Form 53-1, for sales tax.
Additional adult use marijuana tax is effective on the first day of the second calendar quarter following Department of Revenue notification from a city or county imposing the tax.
Example: The Department receives notification of additional tax in February.
The tax will go into effect July 1.
