Question

NJ seller that's exempt from sales and use tax. If sells and delivers to MA, per CBT 100, Schedule J, the sale is not allocable to NJ. So is this allocable to MA and need to file state tax for MA? Thanks.

Hi Sabrina,

Thanks for your response!

How about if product is shipped out-of-state, like MA and MD, where customer did not pickup/arrange trucking. From what I understood on CBT100, Schedule J, this is not allocable to NJ since possession is not transferred in NJ. What happens with these sales? Thanks.

When you ship products to customers in other states and the customer doesn't arrange the shipping themselves, the sales typically aren't allocable to New Jersey because possession isn't transferred in New Jersey. Instead, these sales would generally be subject to the tax laws of the destination states.

If you continue to make sales into other states, you may have tax reporting obligations for the states where you products are being delivered.
