New Jersey Sales Tax
New Jersey Sales Tax consists of twenty-one field audit teams strategically located throughout the State of New Jersey. Field Audit district offices are located in Trenton (Hamilton Township), Newark, Toms River, Camden and Northfield.
In-State Field Audit is responsible for the examination of taxpayer’s books and records to ensure compliance with existing laws and regulations.
Tax Audits are usually performed on site at the taxpayer’s place of business or at sites provided by the taxpayer’s representative.
Audits are comprehensive in nature and intended to include all taxes administered by the Division of Taxation, however their primary focus is on Sales and Use Tax and Corporation Business Tax.
In addition to the State of New Jersey audit significance given to medium and larger sized entities, the Division has recently placed a special emphasis on the audit of smaller “cash” type businesses.
The initiation of the cash audit program was intended to strengthen compliance and collection efforts as well as level the playing field for compliant businesses. Since it’s inception in 1996 cash audit and compliance efforts have become an integral part of Field Audit operations and have collected billions of dollars for the State.
Voluntary Disclosure Policy – Contact the State before they contact you.

The Voluntary Disclosure Program is not available to any taxpayer who is currently under criminal investigation, has been contacted by the Division regarding delinquencies or deficiencies or is amending a previously filed individual return.
The Division will consider requests from New Jersey residents as well as New Jersey non-residents. All taxpayers should be represented by professional council.
All requests for a Voluntary Disclosure Agreement must be made in writing detailing the tax years involved and the reason for not filing.
These requests will be reviewed and the Division will make a determination whether a Voluntary Disclosure Agreement can be offered to the taxpayer. If a formal investigation has been opened up many times it is to late to bargain.
If a Voluntary Disclosure Agreement is appropriate, a letter of confirmation will be sent. If the request has been made anonymously, the taxpayer must disclose his or her name, address and social security number to the Division once the confirmation letter from the Division has been received.
An agreement will then be drafted by the STATE and returned to the taxpayer for his or her signature. All copies of the taxpayer signed agreement will be returned by the Taxpayer to the Division along with the returns and payment of tax.
The Division will waive the late filing and late payment penalties related to the tax years included in the agreement.
The taxpayer will then be assessed a 5% post amnesty penalty (for any amnesty eligible year) and statutory interest.
After all returns, tax, applicable penalties and statutory interest have been received by the Division, a fully executed agreement will be returned to the taxpayer.
In addition to the conditions outlined above, the taxpayer  ( individual or business ) is expected to remain compliant with all future tax obligations.
As an alternative to the Voluntary Disclosure Program, the Division is willing to enter
into negotiations leading to a Taxpayer specific closing agreement with a Taxpayer who is prepared to come forward with full disclosure of all pertinent information. Many times this may be the best available option.
Warning – It is always best to be represented by professional and experienced Council. Free tax consultations. We are a local tax firm.
