Establishes annual four-day sales tax holiday after Thanksgiving.
This bill establishes an annual four-day sales tax holiday in New Jersey, exempting most physical goods from sales tax during the period from 12:01 a.m. on the Friday after Thanksgiving through 11:59 p.m. on the Monday after Thanksgiving. The holiday covers popular shopping days including Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, Sunday, and Cyber Monday, directly affecting consumers who purchase qualifying items and retailers who do not collect sales tax during this window. It applies to retail sales of tangible personal property (physical goods) but excludes services and certain items like food or clothing. The law takes effect immediately, with temporary regulations allowing the tax authority to implement rules within 180 days.
