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).
New Jersey has a 7% state sales tax. All revenues are deposited in the State Treasury for general State use, nothing goes to the towns. In Urban Enterprise Zones, the State sales tax is cut in half to encourage economic development, resulting in an effective tax rate of 3.5%.
