(Reuters) – U.S. Treasury secretary Janet Yellen stated Wednesday that she agrees that allowing legal state-legal cannabis companies to have access to the U.S. bank system will allow the Internal Revenue Service improve tax collection.
During a hearing of the U.S. House Financial Services Committee, Ed Perlmutter from Colorado asked Yellen if allowing marijuana businesses access to the banking system to perform transactions — currently prohibited under federal law — would help the IRS collect tens to millions of unpaid taxes.
“Yes, it will,” Yellen responded.
