NJ is jumping on the sales tax holiday bandwagon!

August 26, 2023 - September 4, 2023

P.L. 2022, c.21, establishes a Sales Tax Holiday for certain retail sales of computers, school supplies, and sport or recreational equipment when sold to an individual purchaser for non-business use. The Sales Tax Holiday takes place between August 26 and September 4, 2023. Sellers should not charge Sales Tax on eligible items when purchased during the Sales Tax Holiday.

This is big news. Historically, NJ never participated in these tax free week schemes.

Any idea if cell phones would qualify as a computer? Seems like they should by the definition.

will this be taken care of by retailers (i assume online retailers too) automatically?
for example, on 8/27 I go to Newegg and check out a computer(or a CPU), and find sales tax is 0?

Hmm so wonder if computer components will also fall under the sales tax holiday. Almost ready to pull the trigger on components for a custom build.

They are specifically excluded from the sales tax holiday.

"School computer supplies" with a sales price less than $1,000. "School computer supplies" means items commonly used by a student in a course of study in which a computer is used. Retail sales of school computer supplies with a sales price greater than or equal to $1,000 remain subject to tax during the Sales Tax Holiday. School computer supplies include the following:

Computer Storage Media, Diskettes, and Compact Disks
Handheld Electronic Schedulers (except devices that are cellular phones)

Personal Digital Assistants (except devices that are cellular phones)
Computer Printers

Printer Supplies for Computers, Printer Paper, and Printer Ink"

The only thing I can see for you is an SSD.
