Hi Jacob
We’re entering the final stages of preparations to open our SLO dispensary and we’re ready for our Business License and
Tax Certificate—see attached application.
The Business License and Tax Certificate are required for setting up our cannabis bank account—what is the ETA on
issuance of these?
Also,just a heads up,we’ll be paying our City of SLO Cannabis Business Taxes in cash whenever possible to minimize our
number armored truck trips to the bank.
Thank you,

Hi Jacob
I have some questions for you about the City Cannabis Business Tax.
FYI,I've cc'd our Financial Controller,Marie,as I expect I'll need her help with this.]
Do we include revenue from sales of non cannabis products apparel,books,accessories,etc)in our City
Cannabis Business Tax calculations?
Is there a prescribed form that we should use for our monthly tax payments?
What is the reporting period and due date for our first tax payment?we plan to start making sales on Aug 1st)
Thank you for your assistance!

Hello Megan and Keith,
Attached to this email is your business license tax certificate for the 2020 21 Fiscal Year.There is an update regarding
the business license and tax certificate that I will explain below:
Update to the Effective and Expiration date The Effective and Expiration date is July 7th and June 30,2021.This is
different than the 8/1/2020 and 8/1/2021 dates that I previously discussed.We originally planned of having the business
license and tax certificate run on a 12 month cycle that matched the timeframe of the operator permit.This is why I
needed for you to confirm that the start date was August 1st before I issued the certificate.
However,after further discussion with my colleagues it was decided that it would be best to have the business license
and tax certificate be consistent with all other businesses including cannabis businesses)in the City of San Luis Obispo.
In order to be consistent the certificate will be effective when paid and expire on June 30th.The reasoning is that the
business license certificate can be looked at as a receipt that verifies that a company is registered with the City to pay
taxes.It does not authorize or permit a business to actually conduct business.Therefore,it is not integral to align this
certificate with the operation permit.
The effective date of July 7th,2020 on your business license certificate will not affect the timeline of the operator permit.
That permit will expire 12 months after opening date.
Please let me know if you have any questions regarding this.I apologize for any confusion that I may have caused.
Thank you,

Hello Megan,
I am very sorry that I did not respond to you earlier in the week.I took some time off last week and detached
from email.My apologies that it is delaying you from opening up a bank account.
The Cannabis application looks good.In addition to the application,we also require a copy of an owner's
driver's license and BCC license.The application will be complete once we have a copy of both.Please email
these to me at your earliest convenience,or bring both documents during payment and we can scan a copy.
We are available for appointment Tuesday Friday of this week.You may schedule the appointment to pay
your business license at 8:30,9:00,or 9:30 A.M.We prefer these times so that your payment will be included
same day by our armored truck pickup.Please let me know if any of these times do not work with you,so that
we can arrange another time.
I will accelerate your Business License Certificate once your application is complete and payment has been
made.You should receive it one day after the appointment.
Once you have picked a time and date I will send you a followup email that will provide all pertinent
information on our cash payment procedures.This can be saved for future reference.
The City is very eager for your businesses's opening and I look forward to working with you.Please let me
know if you have any additional questions.

Hi Jacob :)
We’re entering the final stages of preparations to open our SLO
dispensary and we’re ready for our Business License and Tax
Certificate—see attached application.
The Business License and Tax Certificate are required for setting up our
cannabis bank account—what is the ETA on issuance of these?
Also, just a heads up, we’ll be paying our City of SLO Cannabis Business
Taxes in cash whenever possible to minimize our number armored truck
trips to the bank.

date.If August 1st is what we select,it will have an expiration of 8/1/2021.
You may pay whenever you like,but we have to know which dates to put on the certificate.Due to the cost of this
certificate,I would be willing to work with you on changing the dates if needed.For example,I can issue a license on July
9th with an effective and expiration date on 8/1.You would be able to use this certificate to open up the bank account.
Let’s then say that the store does not end up opening until August 21st.What would happen is that I would reprint the
license to show an effective and expiration date of August 15th the effective date must be either the beginning or
middle of a month).There is an 11.86 fee for reprinting.
The only problem that I see happening with this is if you need to distribute the license to multiple agencies,and then
have to resend it again with the updated dates.
Please let me know if this makes sense and if you would like me to input 8/1 as the effective and expiration dates
Thank you,

Hello Keith,

The total amount will be $96,074.11. The check can be made out to City of SLO-
Revenue Management Division. The address is 990 Palm street, San Luis Obispo
CA, 93401.
Also, can one of you please confirm that the businesses will open on 8/1/2020? Is
this a tentative date? The license will last for 12 months and will show the
expiration date. I would be hesitant to create the license until the opening date is
confirmed because there could be a chance of either over or underpayment.

the Effective Date and the Expiration date. If August 1st is what we select, it will
have an expiration of 8/1/2021.
You may pay whenever you like, but we have to know which dates to put on the

with an effective and expiration date on 8/1. You would be able to use this
certificate to open up the bank account. Let’s then say that the store does not
end up opening until August 21st. What would happen is that I would reprint the
license to show an effective and expiration date of August 15th (the effective date
must be either the beginning or middle of a month). There is an $11.86 fee for
reprinting.
The only problem that I see happening with this is if you need to distribute the
license to multiple agencies, and then have to resend it again with the updated
dates.
Please let me know if this makes sense and if you would like me to input 8/1 as

Hello Megan,
I am very sorry that I did not respond to you earlier in the week. I
took some time off last week and detached from email. My
apologies that it is delaying you from opening up a bank account.
The Cannabis application looks good. In addition to the
application, we also require a copy of an owner's driver's license
and BCC license. The application will be complete once we have a
copy of both. Please email these to me at your earliest
convenience, or bring both documents during payment and we
can scan a copy.
We are available for appointment Tuesday-Friday of this week.
You may schedule the appointment to pay your business license
at 8:30, 9:00, or 9:30 A.M. We prefer these times so that your
payment will be included same day by our armored truck pickup.
Please let me know if any of these times do not work with you, so
that we can arrange another time.
I will accelerate your Business License Certificate once your
application is complete and payment has been made. You should
receive it one day after the appointment.
Once you have picked a time and date I will send you a followup
email that will provide all pertinent information on our cash
payment procedures. This can be saved for future reference.
The City is very eager for your businesses's opening and I look
forward to working with you. Please let me know if you have any
additional questions.

Hi Jacob :)
We’re entering the final stages of preparations to open our SLO
dispensary and we’re ready for our Business License and Tax
Certificate—see attached application.
The Business License and Tax Certificate are required for setting
up our cannabis bank account—what is the ETA on issuance of
these?
Also, just a heads up, we’ll be paying our City of SLO Cannabis

armored truck trips to the bank.

There are a couple of things to consider.When the certificate is issued it will have the Effective Date and the Expiration

You may pay whenever you like,but we have to know which dates to put on the certificate.Due to the cost of this

July 9th with an effective and expiration date on 8/1.You would be able to use this certificate to open up the bank

account.Let’s then say that the store does not end up opening until August 21st.What would happen is that I would
reprint the license to show an effective and expiration date of August 15th the effective date must be either the
beginning or middle of a month).There is an 11.86 fee for reprinting.
The only problem that I see happening with this is if you need to distribute the license to multiple agencies,and then
have to resend it again with the updated dates.
Please let me know if this makes sense and if you would like me to input 8/1 as the effective and expiration dates

Hello Keith,
The total amount will be $96,074.11. The check can be made out to City of SLO-
Revenue Management Division. The address is 990 Palm street, San Luis Obispo
CA, 93401.
Also, can one of you please confirm that the businesses will open on 8/1/2020?
Is this a tentative date? The license will last for 12 months and will show the
expiration date. I would be hesitant to create the license until the opening date
is confirmed because there could be a chance of either over or underpayment.
Thank you,

Hi Megan,
To whom do I send my completed Business License & Cannabis Tax Certificate form?
o I have attached Jacob Nunez to this email who will be able to receive the Business License
Form and provide additional info on remitting taxes monthly.
It would reduce our use of armored truck trips, as well as reduce our cannabis banking fees, if we could
pay our City cannabis business taxes in cash. Can we do this and if so, what's the process?
o Yes, you can pay via cash to the Finance Department. You have to schedule an appointment
with the Business Tax Division to deposit the cash, I believe Jacob can also help you with this.
We've removed the leaf from our signage. I believe we already discussed this but we want to be extra
sure that the City has no objection to us using the leaf-containing-logo on our retail bags. Can you
please confirm that we can proceed with the leaf logo on the retail bags that customers leave the store
with?
o Yes this totally acceptable
The National Cannabis Industry Association gives scholarships to social equity applicants and
licensees. Three of us in MOM SLO, myself included, were/are at or below median income (see
attached) so we qualify for the NCIA scholarship. I applied and NCIA asked that I provide something
from the City that confirms that I am a social equity applicant.
o Just a follow up on this, do you have the specific requirements the scholarship wants to see
from the City. If they have a template I am happy to put it on City Letterhead and change the
information to make it pertain to Megan’s Organic Market. If there is not template what would
you like the City to specify in the letter?

Hi Megan,
To whom do I send my completed Business License & Cannabis Tax Certificate form?
o I have attached Jacob Nunez to this email who will be able to receive the Business License
Form and provide additional info on remitting taxes monthly.
It would reduce our use of armored truck trips, as well as reduce our cannabis banking fees, if we could
pay our City cannabis business taxes in cash. Can we do this and if so, what's the process?
o Yes, you can pay via cash to the Finance Department. You have to schedule an appointment
with the Business Tax Division to deposit the cash, I believe Jacob can also help you with this.
We've removed the leaf from our signage. I believe we already discussed this but we want to be extra
sure that the City has no objection to us using the leaf-containing-logo on our retail bags. Can you
please confirm that we can proceed with the leaf logo on the retail bags that customers leave the store
with?
o Yes this totally acceptable
The National Cannabis Industry Association gives scholarships to social equity applicants and
licensees. Three of us in MOM SLO, myself included, were/are at or below median income (see
attached) so we qualify for the NCIA scholarship. I applied and NCIA asked that I provide something
from the City that confirms that I am a social equity applicant.
o Just a follow up on this, do you have the specific requirements the scholarship wants to see
from the City. If they have a template I am happy to put it on City Letterhead and change the
information to make it pertain to Megan’s Organic Market. If there is not template what would
you like the City to specify in the letter?
Best,
Georgina

One more question—to whom do I send my completed Business License Cannabis Tax Certificate form?
I have a question about the form also attached).I want to confirm that I used the correct NAICS code 453998:Misc
Retailers).Also,I'm not sure what the State Franchise No.is since the form already asks for our California Seller's Permit
number?

Hey Jacob
We will be able to pay by check. Whats the best mailing address or should we drop off in person? since the
mail seems to be not functioning in a timely manner. And I assume there is a penalty for being late?
Cheers
Keith

Please let me know if you are interested in either the cash or online option and I

Hi Keith,
We sent the remittal with a return envelope for August taxes on Friday.You should receive it any day now and can
return it once the August period is complete.Please let me know if you have not received the remittal by the end of the
week and I can email it to you.
Our office is still only open by appointment,but you can drop payment off in the drop box in the front of the building.
The drop box is in the brick wall as you walk towards the finance and information technology”entrance.
The late fee for payments not received by the due date is an additional 10%of the cannabis tax amount.For example,
remitting 100 would on September 1st would receive a 10 dollar late fee.
Thanks,
Jacob
