What New Jersey adds to a sale
These statements come from the state's own agencies. Each one links to the page it was taken from.
Corporate tax
New Jersey adds a 2.5% Corporate Transit Fee to the corporation business tax for privilege periods from January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2028, on taxable net income over $10 million. New Jersey S corporations and public utilities do not pay it.

Personal income tax
New Jersey taxes S corporation income in the year the corporation earns it, regardless of when it is distributed. Partners report their distributive share of partnership income whether or not it was actually distributed.

Clearances
The purchaser of New Jersey business assets, other than in the ordinary course of business, must notify the Division of Taxation on Form C-9600 at least 10 business days before the closing; real property used for business or income purposes is covered too. If the purchaser does not, or closes before the 10 business days without an escrow assigned, the purchaser is held responsible for the seller's State tax obligations.
