Canada’s Budget 2026 proposes a common cannabis excise duty stamp, a reform advocated by Village Farms. Effective January 1, 2028, it would reduce the number of unique stamps from 13 to six for provinces and territories that share excise duty rates.
Other jurisdictions with Coordinated Cannabis Taxation Agreements would be invited to adopt the common stamp. Village Farms expects the reform to reduce regulatory complexity, supply chain delays and costs.
