Schedule MC-2, Medical Cannabis Sales Instructions

General Information

Who must file Schedule MC-2?

If you have one business but sell medical cannabis at more than one cultivation site, you must report taxable receipts from medical cannabis sales from each cultivation site for the purpose of calculating the Medical Cannabis Cultivation Privilege Tax. If you have more than one cultivation center, you must complete and attach Schedule MC‑2, Medical Cannabis Sales, to your Form MC‑1, Medical Cannabis Cultivation Privilege Tax Return, to show the breakdown of sales from each cultivation center.

How do I report my sales?

Follow the specific instructions on the following page to report your sales. You must identify and report sales from each cultivation center separately.

How do I calculate the medical cannabis cultivation privilege tax?

Tax is calculated at a rate of 7 percent (.07) of the taxable receipts from the first sale of medical cannabis by a cultivator.

The taxable receipts are determined without any deduction on account of the cost of property sold, the cost of materials used, labor or service cost, or any other expense whatsoever. See 86 Illinois Administrative Code Section 429.110 for rules regarding the treatment of transportation and delivery charges.

The tax is computed on the taxable receipts of the medical cannabis sold after the application of any applicable discounts.

There is no cultivation privilege tax on free samples of medical cannabis given to a dispensing organization by a cultivation center. However, a cultivation center will incur Use Tax liability on the cost price of any free samples of medical cannabis given to dispensing organizations. See 86 Illinois Administrative Code Section 150.305(c).
