For taxable sales on and after January 1, 2018, sellers must collect and remit Sales Tax at the rate of 6.625% except under specific circumstances provided for by law. Sales Tax is levied on:
- Tangible personal property;
- Specified digital products; and
- Enumerated services.
The Division of Taxation has updated Sales Tax Collection Schedule (Form ST-75) 37 kb, which is effective January 1, 2018. Form ST-75 rounds the amount of taxes owed to the nearest full cent. All tax calculations should be rounded accordingly. (See, “How to Calculate the Sales Tax.”) The tax rate (6.625%) is not rounded when calculating taxes owed.
On and after January 1, 2018, businesses in Wildwood, North Wildwood, and Wildwood Crest that are subject to the Tourism Tax, will collect the 2% Tourism Tax and 6.625% Sales Tax, for a combined rate of 8.625% on tourism-related sales. This is in addition to the 1.85% Tourism Assessment and the 3.15% State Occupancy Fee on hotel occupancies. The updated Cape May County Tourism Sales Tax Collection Schedule (Form ST-375) 95 kb is now available.
