ST. LOUIS – On Monday, Richmond Heights signed an ordinance about the tax on marijuana. The city council approved the additional three percent tax on the sale of marijuana.
The six percent sales tax will have to be paid by anyone who buys marijuana from a licensed store. Amendment 3, which was approved by voters and has been part of Missouri law since December 8, gives cities and towns the choice to add a 3% local sales tax.
Locally, the tax money could be used for a number of projects and administrative tasks.
