Licensing
Your business must be registered with the State of Michigan with a Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN) or Treasury issued TR Number.
If you don’t have one, you can easily fix that! Simply apply for a FEIN with the Internal Revenue Service.
License Types
Marijuana Retail Excise Tax (MRE) has two different license types:
Marijuana Retailer – Businesses licensed to obtain marijuana from marijuana establishments and sell or otherwise transfer marijuana to marijuana establishments and qualifying individuals.
Microbusiness - Businesses licensed to cultivate, process, package, as well as sell/transfer marijuana to marijuana safety compliance facilities or qualifying individuals but not other marijuana establishments.
Note: Marijuana Retailers and Microbusinesses SHOULD NOT collect and remit the 10% excise tax until they are officially licensed by the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA).
