Official Site of The State of New Jersey

This unit provides taxpayers with a determination of tax subjectivity based on their specific business activities in New Jersey. Our goal is to provide assistance with registration and filing requirements for businesses both in and out-of-State.

You may receive a State of New Jersey Nexus Questionnaire if:

1. You voluntarily registered with New Jersey for one or more of the following taxes:
• Corporation Business Tax;
• Sales & Use Tax;
• Employer's Withholding Tax;
• Litter Tax, and/or;
2. The Division obtained information that you may be:
• Engaging in business activities; or
• Receiving income from New Jersey sources.

You must complete the questionnaire, stating whether your company had business activities (past or present) in New Jersey. This ensures you are registered for the correct tax types.

For assistance, contact us at 609-984-5749.
