A note about sales tax: The sale of a car is taxed at 7% in NJ, very few residents are taxed at half that rate which is 3.5% because they live in areas which qualify for the reduced state tax rate (example: Vineland and Millville in Cumberland County).
The New Jersey state sales tax rate is 7%, and the average NJ sales tax after local surtaxes is 6.97%. 1  Groceries, clothing and prescription drugs are exempt from the New Jersey sales tax. 2  Counties and cities are not allowed to collect local sales taxes.
