New Jersey State law requires that all artists & dealers selling taxable goods charge New Jersey sales tax separate from the amount of the sale. Vendors are required to be registered with the New Jersey Division of Revenue and Enterprise Services either before or after the convention and remit the collected sales tax to the State of New Jersey. All vendors must provide AnimeNEXT with a photocopy of their NJ Certificate of Authority for Sales Tax (Form CA-1). Failure to do so will result in ejection from the convention and/or a 1-year ban for future conventions.
The state of New Jersey requires all vendors to register with the department of Treasury.
