New Jersey sales tax rates

New Jersey's state sales and use tax rate is 6.625% (general rate) on 2026-10-22, in the Streamlined Sales Tax rate file NJR2018Q1OCT16 the state posted for 2018Q1.

The file lists no local rates on 2026-10-22, so the state rate is the only rate in it.

A published rate is not the tax due on a sale: taxability, sourcing, nexus and exemptions all change what is owed.

Data as of Oct 21, 2026 (Olympus publication) · Markdown version

These are published sales and use tax rates by jurisdiction. They are not the tax due on a transaction and not a taxability determination: whether an item is taxable, which location's rate applies (sourcing), whether the seller must collect (nexus) and any exemption all change what is owed. Rates come from the Streamlined Sales Tax files the states publish or, where a result's source says so, from the state revenue department's own files and pages; confirm with the state before relying on them.
New Jersey's Urban Enterprise Zone and Salem County reduced rates apply only to qualified sellers' in-person sales at their place of business there. They are not in the state's file and are never applied here.
