CCB/DoT Release Annual Cannabis Taxable Sales Data - FY 22

September 30, 2022

Together with the Nevada Cannabis Compliance Board (CCB), the Nevada Department of Taxation (DoT) released figures showing more than $965 million in taxable sales reported by Nevada’s legal cannabis industry over a 12-month period.

During Fiscal Year 22 (July 1, 2021 – June 30, 2022), licensed adult-use cannabis retail stores and medical dispensaries generated $965,091,123 in taxable sales. This is a decrease of roughly 4% as compared to over $1 billion in taxable sales from FY 21. The majority of sales were conducted in Clark County and unincorporated cities in Southern Nevada.

NRS 372A.290 directs all revenue from the 10-percent State Retail Cannabis Excise Tax into the State Education Fund (SEF), formerly the Distributive School Account (DSA). Additionally, with the exclusion of operating costs, the CCB transfers combined revenue from the State Wholesale Cannabis Excise Tax, along with civil penalties, licensing and other fees collected through regulation of the cannabis industry.
