New Jersey taxes through the New Jersey Division of Taxation at a 6.625% statewide base rate, with local rates stacking on top and economic nexus for remote sellers at $100,000 in sales or 200 transactions. Filing runs quarterly, with monthly payments above a threshold. For e-commerce & online sellers, that combination is what decides how much of your month-end is bookkeeping and how much is compliance.
Employer registration runs through the New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development, and the entity is registered with the New Jersey Division of Revenue and Enterprise Services. Urban Enterprise Zones carry a reduced rate for qualifying in-person sales.

Sales tax nexus in New Jersey
Economic nexus in New Jersey is $100,000 in sales or 200 transactions. For e-commerce & online sellers, that threshold is the one to watch, because it is reached by selling into the state — no office, no staff, no physical presence required. Once you cross it you are expected to register with the New Jersey Division of Taxation and begin collecting. We track your New Jersey sales against it and tell you before you cross, not after.
Marketplace sales vs. your own channels in New Jersey
Marketplace facilitator rules mean large platforms generally collect and remit New Jersey tax on sales made through them. Your own site, wholesale, and direct sales are a different matter — those remain yours to collect and report. Keeping the two streams separate in the books is what makes the New Jersey Division of Taxation return match reality.
New Jersey rates and sourcing
The New Jersey statewide base rate is 6.625%. Local rates stack on top and are generally sourced to the delivery address, so the effective rate varies within the state. Getting sourcing right is what keeps the liability account matching what you actually collected.
Filing cadence in New Jersey
New Jersey assigns filing frequency by liability — quarterly, with monthly payments above a threshold. New Jersey does not offer an annual bracket, so even low-volume sellers file at least quarterly and the account has to stay current year-round.
