One statewide sales tax rate
New Jersey’s sales tax rate is 6.625%, applied statewide, with limited special rules, such as the 3.3125% rate in Urban Enterprise Zones. That is simpler than states with city and county add-ons, but taxable and exempt items still have to be sorted correctly.
Quarterly returns for sales tax and payroll
Sales tax is typically filed quarterly on Form ST-50. Employers file Form NJ-927 (the employer’s quarterly report) and Form WR-30 (the report of wages paid) each quarter, and report New Jersey income tax withholding on the state’s separate withholding forms.
Business registration comes first
A New Jersey business registers with the state before it collects sales tax or hires employees, and LLCs and corporations file an annual report with the state.
Close to New York City
Many New Jersey businesses serve New York customers or employ New York residents, which can bring in New York payroll and sales tax questions. Those are reviewed with the owner’s CPA before returns are prepared.
Rates, forms and deadlines change. Confirm the current figures on the state agency sites linked below before filing.
