New Jersey § 54:39-130

• Jurisdiction: New Jersey
• Title 54: TAXATION

Text

30. a. Before becoming a position holder in a terminal in this State or engaging in a terminal bulk transfer a person shall first obtain a supplier's license. A valid supplier's license allows the holder of the license to engage in all other activities without having to obtain any other license. b. A person who desires to precollect the tax imposed by P.L.2010, c.22 (C.54:39-101 et al.) as a supplier and who meets the definition of a permissive supplier may obtain a permissive supplier's license. Application for or possession of a permissive supplier's license shall not in itself subject the applicant or licensee to the jurisdiction of this State for any other purpose than administration and enforcement of P.L.2010, c.22 (C.54:39-101 et al.). c. A supplier or a permissive supplier shall be required to post a bond of not less than three months' potential tax liability based on the number of taxable gallons handled as estimated by the director, but in no event shall the bond be less than $25,000 or more than $2,000,000. An applicant who is a "publicly traded corporation," as that term is defined by section 39 of P.L.1977, c.110 (C.5:12-39) and has assets within the State having a book value of $5 million or more may, at the discretion of the director, be exempted from having to post a bond under this section. d. For the purpose of determining the amount of precollected tax due, a supplier shall file with the director, on forms prescribed and furnished by the director, a verified statement. The director may require the reporting of any information necessary to determine the amount of precollected tax due. e. The director may require each licensed supplier or licensed permissive supplier to separately disclose and identify, in a written statement to the director with the supplier or permissive supplier report, any removal and sale from the terminal transfer system in another state by that supplier to a person, other than a licensed supplier, permissive supplier or distributor, of gallons of fuel, other than dyed fuel, and which gallons are destined for this State, as shown by the terminal-issued shipping paper, and as to which gallons the tax imposed by P.L.2010, c.22 (C.54:39-101 et al.) has not been collected or accrued by the supplier upon the removal. f. The reports required by this section shall be filed on or before the 22nd day of the current month with respect to information for the preceding calendar month. L.2010, c.22, s.30.
