Governor Phil Murphy enacted a state-sponsored retirement plan structured to help private-sector employees save for the future.
In March 2019, Governor Phil Murphy signed the New Jersey Secure Choice Act (P.L. 2019 c. 56) to establish the Secure Choice Savings Program. This state-sponsored retirement plan was created to assist private-sector employees with their future savings, and it is independently administered by the Secure Choice Savings Board, which held its first organizational meeting on December 15, 2021.
The program is not currently active, and The Board is currently working on its implementation. Updates will be posted as received.
Business rental properties used by taxpayers may qualify for a tax deduction.
If a small business pays rent on property they do not own, it can typically be deducted as a business expense. Taxpayers should be aware when leasing or purchasing property, they must identify if the payments are for rent or the purchase of the property and if the agreement is a lease or conditional sales contract. Payments made under a conditional sales contract aren't deductible as rent expenses.
Businesses are unable to obtain a rental deduction for unreasonable rents paid, which applies when rent is higher than market value or a professional appraisal.
A business owner's workplace can be in their home if they have a home office that qualifies as their principal place of business.
Rent paid for a business is usually deductible within the year it is paid. Businesses that pay rent in advance may deduct the amount that applies to the use of the rented property with the tax year. The business can subtract the leftover dues over the period to which it applies.
A business can almost always deduct the costs paid to cancel a business lease.
