Who regulates cannabis retail in Vermont?

Vermont Cannabis Control Board (CCB) is the state cannabis regulator for Vermont. Official site: https://ccb.vermont.gov.

What seed-to-sale track-and-trace system does Vermont use?

Vermont runs its own state-built Inventory Tracking System rather than a vendor platform like METRC or BioTrack. Its rules require point-of-sale sales to reach that system in real time through its API, and a monthly inventory reconciliation. CannAgent has no connection to that API yet, and we say so before you sign.

What cannabis taxes apply to retail in Vermont?

At the register, as of September 2026: the 14% cannabis excise plus 6% sales tax on adult-use sales, both on the same sales price and itemized separately, plus the 1% local option where your town levies it. Sales by a dispensary or a medical-use-endorsed retailer to a registered patient are exempt from both.

Vermont dispensary POS for CCB rules

Written against CCB rules: Vermont’s own Inventory Tracking System, which Rule 2.8.2(b) says point-of-sale sales must reach in real time through its API, and the monthly inventory reconciliation Rule 2.2.6(c) requires within 15 days of month end. Plus the 14% adult-use excise and 6% sales tax, 20% combined, and the licence tiers Act 164 created.

Vermont’s tax rules and purchase limits are written into CannAgent’s compliance engine from the rule text. Where a figure still waits on an answer from the CCB, it is flagged against the rule rather than guessed.

What we have written for Vermont

Vermont coverage is written against CCB rules: the licence tiers under Act 164, the medical and adult-use tax split (both taxes waived only where a dispensary or medical-use-endorsed retailer sells to a registered patient or their registered caregiver), and the Inventory Tracking System duties: real-time sales to its API and a monthly reconciliation within 15 days of month end. CannAgent has no connection to that API yet, and we say so before you sign.
