Legal Question in Tax Law in New Jersey

Re: Tax on employee purchases

When you make these purchases, you are a customer just like anyone else. If the sales of the merchandise are taxable, you are subject to the tax. However, if your employer wishes to give you a break, by selling to you at a discount, that includes the tax, it becomes the employer's responsibility to remit the tax. This is a response to an Internet question and the reply is not intended to be legal advice or as creating an attorney-client relationship.
