About this market

Market context

The tax profession in New Jersey encompasses a wide array of specializations catering to individuals, businesses, and non-profit organizations operating within the state's complex tax framework. Professionals advise on compliance, planning, and controversy resolution across various state and local taxes, as well as federal tax matters.

New Jersey's tax landscape is notable for its high property taxes, a progressive income tax ranging from 1.4% to 10.75% (for incomes over $1 million), and a statewide sales tax rate of 6.625%. The state also has a Corporation Business Tax (CBT) with a 9% rate on taxable net income over $100,000, and a Gross Income Tax (GIT) for individuals. The Division of Taxation, within the Department of the Treasury, is the primary agency responsible for administering state tax laws.

What's driving demand

  • High property taxes drive demand for property tax specialists and appealing assessments.
  • Complex corporate tax structure, including CBT and GILTI considerations for businesses with global operations.
  • Wealth management and estate planning due to high net worth individuals and substantial inheritance tax considerations (though NJ estate tax was repealed, inheritance tax remains for certain beneficiaries).
  • Ongoing changes in federal tax law (e.g., TCJA, Inflation Reduction Act) requiring state-level adjustments and planning.
