    Thank you. I thought it was just a business license. I did not realize it was a minimum of $500 a year. One more way that New Jersey stinks, LOL.

    I would try to avoid the state entirely but I'm only in Pennsylvania and I'm working on doing short hauls or shorter hauls anyway so I can't imagine completely avoiding the next state over.

    I do have an LLC so I will need the information.

    CBT-100 is the tax return form, have previous years stored at home. If i remember correctly, the minimum payment covers up to 1M of NJ revenue. They take revenue/mile from IFTA.

    Need to file as foreign corp doing business in NJ. Think it's just a one time fee for that. This is the tax coupon you will get for the entire year, paid quarterly.

    How would they be able to prove revenue to determine tax? I believe someone above said the tax is based on revenue/mile.

    In NJ, it is a fee, and it only applys if you get loaded or unloaded in NJ, and you are a corp, and maybe an LLC.
    In my years of otr, I tried to avoid NJ for this reason, and only actually delivered a load there less than a handfull of times, and was never caught, but know of some that had their trucks and freight tied up, till they caught up.

    When you file the NJ tax you have to include a copy of your federal return, just like any other state that you have to file in.

    @wichris

    Is that fee about picking up or delivering in New Jersey?

    Or is it just about traveling on New Jersey roads?

    If you make pu's and/or drops in NJ. Just passing through doesn't need anything. You can always just chance it. They only have a few agents watching places for it. I made it for years without being registered. But was caught and cost 8K + impound fee up front, 2K in attorney fee's. Settled for registering and 4 years minimum tax. I laugh about it now, wasn't quite as funny at the time. LOL
