New Jersey economic nexus triggers when a remote seller exceeds $100,000 in revenue or 200 transactions from New Jersey customers within a calendar year. Once triggered, the seller must register with the New Jersey Department of Revenue and begin collecting and remitting sales tax.

How long do I have to register after crossing nexus in New Jersey?
