Out-of-state businesses (25+ U.S. full-time employees, home state uses the convenience-of-employer tax rule) that re-assign New Jersey-resident employees to work in New Jersey can get a grant equal to one year of their NJ income tax withholding, up to $500,000.
A pilot, funded at $10 million per state fiscal year, that gives grants to businesses principally located in another state to re-assign their New Jersey-resident employees to work in New Jersey. The grant equals the New Jersey gross income tax withheld for the re-assigned employees during one tax year, capped at $500,000 per EIN; a $5,000 application fee and $1,000 administrative fee apply. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis until funding is exhausted and must be submitted on or before July 1, 2028.
Business principally located in another state that uses the convenience of the employer income taxation rule (for example Delaware, Nebraska or New York)
The business has 25 or more U.S. full-time employees
