Introduction

New Jersey's bulk sales tax law, N.J.S.A. Section 54:50-38 (the Act), applies to any sale, transfer, or assignment of a person's business assets that is not made in the ordinary course of business. A transferee's failure to comply with the Act can result in successor liability to such transferee for any New Jersey taxes that the transferor owed, including but not limited to sales, use, corporate income, and gross income tax withholding, and any interest and penalties thereon.
