New Jersey Sales Tax Economic Nexus Threshold (2026)
If your Thresholds business sells $100,000 or 200 transactions into New Jersey in a calendar year, you have economic nexus and must register, collect, and remit New Jersey sales tax.
New Jersey's economic nexus threshold, in detail
The current New Jersey threshold is $100,000 or 200 transactions, in effect since 2018-11-01.
What counts toward the threshold: gross sales of tangible personal property AND most services delivered to New Jersey customers. Resale sales may count in some states. Marketplace-facilitated sales typically do NOT count. Check the state's specific definitions before computing.
Counting periods
Most states apply the threshold on a rolling 12-month basis — look at the prior 12 months as of the end of each month. Some states look at the prior calendar year specifically. New Jersey's rule is stated in its regulations; your registration must begin no later than the first day of the month after you cross, unless the state allows a grace period.
Common threshold-tracking mistakes
- Measuring by calendar year only, missing when a rolling 12-month window would have triggered earlier.
- Including tax in “gross sales”. The threshold uses pre-tax revenue; double-counting tax in the threshold figure can prematurely trigger registration.
- Forgetting that the threshold resets — falling below in a subsequent year doesn't automatically deregister you. You must request deregistration through the New Jersey DOR.
New Jersey nexus note
New Jersey sales tax nexus and economic nexus threshold: since November 1, 2018, remote sellers must register, collect, and remit New Jersey Sales Tax when current- or prior-calendar-year gross revenue from sales of tangible personal property, specified digital products, or taxable services delivered into New Jersey exceeds $100,000 OR those sales reach 200 or more separate transactions. New Jersey includes nontaxable retail sales of tangible personal property and specified digital products in the $100,000 gross-revenue test, but remote sellers making only resale sales or only nontaxable retail sales are not required to register on that basis. Marketplace facilitators collect New Jersey Sales Tax on marketplace transactions regardless of whether the marketplace seller is above or below the threshold; an over-threshold marketplace-only seller may register and request non-reporting status.
