Step 2: Tax & Compliance

This step configures the static compliance settings that govern checkout and reporting.

State selection

Select your operating state from the dropdown. The system seeds:

Default tax rates: state excise tax, standard sales tax, and typical local rates.
Purchase limits: daily and monthly gram limits for recreational and medical customers.
Age requirements: 21+ for recreational, 18+ for medical.
Regulatory category mapping: maps your product categories to state-required categories.

Tax configuration

State excise tax

Special cannabis excise tax charged on top of the product price.
Varies by state (for example, California 15%, Colorado 15%, Washington 37%).
Review the auto-filled value and adjust if your jurisdiction differs.

Local tax

Additional tax charged by your city, county, or special district.
Combine all local surcharges into one percentage.

Sales tax

Standard state sales tax.
Some states exempt medical patients from sales tax.

Tax-inclusive pricing

If enabled, displayed prices include all taxes.
Disable to show pre-tax prices with tax added at checkout.

Compliance rules

Purchase limits

Daily limit: maximum grams per customer per day.
Monthly limit: maximum grams per 30-day rolling period.
Medical limits: separate limits for medical patients, if applicable.
These are auto-filled from your state's seeded values but can be adjusted.

ID verification

Configure whether expired IDs are blocked.
ID numbers must be entered manually; there is no scanning.

Important note

DubLedger does not enforce a dynamic state-specific rule engine beyond these static config values. Verify all values with your state regulator before going live.
