PrestoDoctor Expands Into Michigan Ahead of New Cannabis Tax Changes
PrestoDoctor (OTCQB: DOGP subsidiary) announced expansion into Michigan on October 21, 2025, adding telehealth evaluations and patient-management services in a state facing major tax changes.
Michigan currently has a 10% excise plus 6% sales tax (~16% total); legislation expected January 1, 2026 would add a 24% wholesale tax, potentially raising effective tax burdens and pressuring retail sales. State projections cited a roughly 14% decline in retail cannabis sales. Medical purchases remain subject only to the 6% sales tax, creating a price gap that could increase demand for medical certifications. PrestoDoctor says its HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform and patient management will support patients and operators through the transition.
PrestoDoctor (OTCQB: DOGP subsidiary) ha annunciato l'espansione in Michigan il 21 ottobre 2025, aggiungendo valutazioni telematiche e servizi di gestione dei pazienti in uno stato di fronte a importanti cambiamenti fiscali.
Il Michigan ha attualmente una tassa di consumo del 10% più una tassa sulle vendite del 6% (circa il 16% in totale); una legislazione prevista per il 1 gennaio 2026 aggiungerebbe una tassa all'ingrosso del 24%, potenzialmente aumentando gli oneri fiscali effettivi e pressionando le vendite al dettaglio. Le proiezioni statali indicano una diminuzione di circa 14% delle vendite al dettaglio di cannabis. Gli acquisti medici restano soggetti solo alla tassa sulle vendite del 6%, creando una lacuna di prezzo che potrebbe aumentare la domanda di certificazioni mediche. PrestoDoctor afferma che la sua piattaforma di telemedicina conforme a HIPAA e la gestione dei pazienti supporteranno pazienti e operatori durante la transizione.

Michigan actualmente tiene un impuesto de excise del 10% más un impuesto de ventas del 6% (aprox. 16% en total); se espera que la legislación, a partir del 1 de enero de 2026, añada un impuesto mayorista del 24%, lo que podría aumentar las cargas fiscales efectivas y presionar las ventas minoristas. Las proyecciones estatales señalan una caída de aproximadamente 14% en las ventas minoristas de cannabis. Las compras médicas permanecen sujetas solo al impuesto de ventas del 6%, creando una brecha de precios que podría aumentar la demanda de certificaciones médicas. PrestoDoctor afirma que su plataforma de telemedicina compatible con HIPAA y la gestión de pacientes apoyarán a pacientes y operadores durante la transición.
PrestoDoctor (OTCQB: DOGP 자회사)가 2025년 10월 21일 미시간 확장을 발표하며 원격의료 평가 및 환자 관리 서비스를 도입합니다. 이는 중요한 세제 변화에 직면한 주에서의 확장입니다.
미시간은 현재 소비세 10%와 판매세 6%를 합쳐 약 16%의 총 세금을 부과하고 있습니다. 2026년 1월 1일 발효될 법안은 24%의 도매세를 추가할 예정으로, 실효 세금 부담을 높이고 소매 판매에 압박을 줄 수 있습니다. 주정부 전망은 대략 14%의 대마초 소매 판매 감소를 예측합니다. 의료 구매는 여전히 6%의 판매세에만 적용되어 가격 차이를 만들어 의료 인증에 대한 수요를 증가시킬 수 있습니다. PrestoDoctor는 HIPAA를 준수하는 원격의료 플랫폼과 환자 관리가 전환 기간 동안 환자와 운영자를 지원할 것이라고 말합니다.
PrestoDoctor (filiale OT CQB: DOGP) a annoncé son expansion dans le Michigan le 21 octobre 2025, ajoutant des évaluations par télésanté et des services de gestion des patients dans un État confronté à d'importants changements fiscaux.
Le Michigan applique actuellement une taxe d'accise de 10% plus une taxe sur les ventes de 6% (environ 16% au total); une législation attendue au 1er janvier 2026 ajouterait une taxe de gros de 24%, ce qui pourrait augmenter les charges fiscales effectives et peser sur les ventes au détail. Les projections de l'État indiquent une diminution d'environ 14% des ventes au détail de cannabis. Les achats médicaux restent soumis uniquement à la taxe sur les ventes de 6%, créant un écart de prix qui pourrait augmenter la demande de certifications médicales. PrestoDoctor affirme que sa plateforme de télésanté conforme HIPAA et la gestion des patients soutiendront les patients et les opérateurs pendant la transition.
PrestoDoctor (OTCQB: DOGP Tochtergesellschaft) kündigte am 21. Oktober 2025 die Expansion nach Michigan an und fügte Telemedizin-Bewertungen und Patientenmanagementdienste in einem Bundesstaat hinzu, der vor erheblichen Steueränderungen steht.
Michigan hat derzeit eine Verbrauchssteuer von 10% plus eine Umsatzsteuer von 6% (ca. 16% insgesamt); eine Gesetzgebung, die voraussichtlich am 1. Januar 2026 in Kraft tritt, würde eine 24%-Großhandelsteuer hinzufügen, was die effektive Steuerlast erhöhen und den Einzelhandel belasten könnte. Staatliche Projektionen verzeichnen einen Rückgang der Einzelhandelsverkäufe von Cannabis um ca. 14%. Medizinische Einkäufe bleiben nur der 6%-Umsatzsteuer unterworfen, wodurch eine Preislücke entsteht, die die Nachfrage nach medizinischen Zertifizierungen erhöhen könnte. PrestoDoctor erklärt, dass seine HIPAA-konforme Telehealth-Plattform und das Patientenmanagement Patienten und Betreibern während der Übergangsphase unterstützen werden.
