S 662 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Eliminates requirement to submit sales tax exemption form for textbook purchases.

This bill eliminates the requirement for students to provide a sales tax exemption form when purchasing school textbooks, affecting students, schools, and retailers (especially online sellers). It removes the need for schools to declare textbooks as required or be approved by the Department of Education, and clarifies that the exemption applies to all textbooks - new, used, electronic, or rented - regardless of condition. Currently, buyers must submit a form proving the book is required for school, creating hurdles for online purchases. The change simplifies the process while maintaining the existing sales tax exemption for educational materials.
