New Jersey Tax Division Announces Temporary Corporate Nexus Waiver for Telecommuting during the COVID-19 Crisis

As a result of COVID-19 causing people to work from home, the Division will temporarily waive the impact of the legal threshold within N.J.S.A. 54:10A-2 and N.J.A.C. 18:7-1.9(a) which treats the presence of employees working from their homes in New Jersey as sufficient nexus for out-of-state corporations. If employees are working from home solely as a result of closures due to the coronavirus outbreak and/or the employer’s social distancing policy, no threshold will be considered to have been met.
