S 872 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Repeals $100,000 cap on sales and use tax exemption for certain capital improvements made by businesses participating in Urban Enterprise Zone program.

This bill repeals a $100,000 limit on sales tax exemptions for businesses in New Jersey's Urban Enterprise Zone (UEZ) program. It directly affects certified UEZ businesses (those with UZ-4 certification) by allowing them to claim full tax exemptions on all costs for property improvements, such as building repairs or renovations, without the previous $100,000 cap. The exemption applies retroactively to all qualifying property improvements made on or after January 1, 2022. This change simplifies access to tax savings for businesses seeking to upgrade their facilities within designated UEZ areas.
