[(Title)] Cannabis tax headed for November ballot.

Despite opposition from the industry, the Board of Supervisors placed a gross receipts cannabis tax on the November ballot Tuesday.

尽管遭到行业的反对，旧金山监管委员周二宣布，在11月份投票是否征收大麻总收税。

Critics of the measure said that the tax could incentivize a black market and should instead be pursued after the market stabilizes.

这项措施的批评者说，税收会刺激黑市的活力，应该在市场稳定后继续推行。

Board president Malia Cohen, who introduced the measure, made concessions to the industry by lowering the rate from what she had initially proposed and delaying implementation to 2021.

介绍该措施的监管委员会主席马里亚·科恩通过降低其最初提议的税率，并将实施时间推迟到2021年，对该行业做出了让步。

"There is a black market now and there probably will always be one. I just feel like that is a little bit of an excuse,"  Cohen said.

科恩说：“黑市现在已经存在，而且可能永远都在。我觉得这些理由有点像借口。”

The board voted 8-3 to place it on the ballot. Supervisors Jane Kim, Rafael Mandelman and Hillary Ronen opposed it.

监管委员会以8:3的赞成票通过投票的决定，监察人简·金、拉斐尔·曼德尔曼和希拉里·龙恩反对。

Mandelman said that  "the retail cannabis industry is barely six months old and in my view needs more time to stabilize"  and that  "there is a significant unregulated illegal market that remains and may even be growing."He added,  "cannabis businesses are already facing high taxes on the state level."

曼德尔曼说：“大麻零售业才启动6个月，我认为需要更多的时间来稳定局势……还有一个未经管制的非法市场仍然存在，它甚至可能在不断扩大。”他补充道：“大麻行业已经在面临州级高税收。”

If approved by voters, the cannabis tax would start on Jan. 1, 2021. There would be a 2.5 percent tax on retail cannabis gross receipts up to $1 million and a 5 percent tax on gross receipts in excess of $1 million.

如果得到选民的批准，大麻税将于2021年1月1日开始实施。对总收入100万美元以下的零售大麻征收2.5％的税，对总收入超过100万美元的征收5％的税。

There would be a 1 percent tax on gross receipts up to $1 million in non-retail cannabis activities, and a 1.5 percent on gross receipts more than $1 million.

对非零售大麻业的少于100万美元的总收入征收1％的税，对超过100万美元的总收入征收1.5％的税。

The board could approve legislation later to adjust the rates.

监管委员会可以稍后通过立法调整税率。
