Local Insight: International Tax Considerations in New Jersey

New Jersey residents and businesses engaged in international activities must consider specific tax implications that differ from federal regulations. Understanding these nuances is crucial to ensuring compliance and optimizing tax outcomes.

Get in touch
For Individuals
  • Worldwide Income Reporting: As a New Jersey resident, you're required to report all income, including foreign income, on your state tax return. This includes wages, dividends, rental income, and other foreign earnings.
  • No Credit for Foreign Taxes Paid: Unlike the federal government, New Jersey does not allow a credit for taxes paid to foreign countries. This means you could be taxed by both the foreign country and New Jersey on the same income.
  • Residency Determination: If you maintain a permanent home in New Jersey, you're considered a resident for tax purposes, even if you spend most of your time abroad. However, if you do not maintain a permanent home in New Jersey, have a permanent home elsewhere, and do not spend more than 30 days in New Jersey during the tax year, you may not be considered a resident for tax purposes. 
For Businesses
  • Foreign Corporations Operating in New Jersey: Foreign corporations that derive receipts from sources within New Jersey or engage in contacts within the state are subject to New Jersey Corporation Business Tax (CBT). This includes maintaining an office, owning property, or employing personnel in the state of New Jersey. 
  • Tax Treaties and CBT: Income exempt from federal taxation due to a tax treaty may still be subject to New Jersey CBT. Depending on the filing, income is generally not added to the entire net for separate company or affiliated group filings. However, such income is included in the whole net income regardless of treaty protections for worldwide group filings. 
  • GILTI and FDII Considerations: New Jersey has specific Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (GILTI) and Foreign-Derived Intangible Income (FDII). Recent legislation allows C corporations to exclude certain GILTI from CBT while repealing the FDII deduction 

Understanding these local tax considerations is critical for ensuring compliance and strategic planning. GTA Accounting Group offers expert guidance to navigate these complexities effectively.
