Sales Tax Declarations in New Jersey

Sales tax applies to almost all goods and services sold in New Jersey. However, some goods and services are exempt from sales tax.

A sales tax return is a document that you must submit every month or quarterly if you are a business owner in New Jersey. On this return, you need to report the income you earned from the goods and services you sold and the sales tax you paid.

To submit a sales tax return, you can download and fill out a return form from the New Jersey Department of Taxation's website. You can also submit a return to the tax authority via an e-mail or by mail.

If you do not submit the sales tax return on time, you may be liable to pay penalties. These penalties vary depending on the date of filing the return.

Here are some important points about filing sales tax returns in New Jersey:

• Sales tax applies to almost all goods and services sold.
• Some goods and services are exempt from sales tax.
• The sales tax return must be submitted every month or quarter.
• If you do not submit the sales tax return on time, you will be liable to pay a penalty.

Amazon sellers do not have to declare the sales tax that Amazon collects. This is because Amazon collects and reports the taxes that sellers collect on sales on its behalf. Therefore, sellers do not have to fill out a blank tax return.

However, sellers may be required to file tax returns for their own sales, for sales made outside of Amazon, or if they own another business. The tax filing process may vary depending on the tax laws and procedures of the country and region where the seller is located.

If a seller needs to file a tax return for his/her sales, he/she should follow the steps below:

1. Tax Period: Determine the declaration period. The tax period is usually set for one month, three months or annually.
2. Revenue Information: Provide a detailed breakdown of the revenues you generate from your sales.
3. Expense Information: Declare your tax deductions and expenses. Tax deductions may vary according to tax laws.
4. Tax Calculation: Make tax calculations based on your declared income and expenses. Tax rates and calculation methods may vary by country.
5. Payment Information: Fill in the account details or choose the payment method.
6. Sign and Confirm: Sign your declaration and make the necessary confirmations. Make sure that you have filled in the declaration correctly and completely.
7. Submitting and Tracking: Submit your completed declaration to the relevant tax office. Follow the necessary steps to track the processing and status of your declaration by the tax office.

As an example, let's fill out a blank Sales Tax return for Amazon sellers.

1 - First, visit the New Jersey state website you must log in.

2 - If you have received an ID and password in the mail, we recommend that you log in using the ID and password. You can also log in with your company name by adding 000 or 001 to the end of your EIN number.

3 - Select the appropriate month and period and click 'Submit'.

4 - Even if the payment periods change, the last month of the relevant period should be selected.

5 - If we only sell on e-commerce platforms, i.e. platforms that collect Sales Tax themselves, we can enter our data as 0.
