What is sales tax in jersey city?

Depending on the individual business and location of the business, the sales tax is either 7% (the standard NJ sales tax) or 3.5% for Urban Enterprise Zone (UEZ) businesses. In order to be considered a UEZ business, a company needs to apply for a UEZ certification, which will also qualify the business for certain tax incentives on its own purchases. In addition, certain products and services are not included in the UEZ program. Cars and other conventional vehicles are excluded from the qualified UEZ products list. A comprehensive list of included and excluded products and services, in addition to business benefits, can be found in a benefits document located at http://www.jcedc.org/Pages/UEZTaxBenefits.pdf.
