Doing business in Trenton

Trenton is New Jersey's capital and the Mercer County seat, and state government is still its largest employer, with roughly 20,000 state workers commuting in each weekday. The Richard J. Hughes Justice Complex at 25 Market Street holds the Supreme Court's courtroom and chambers, the Judiciary's administrative headquarters, and the main offices of the Attorney General and the Department of Law and Public Safety. Mercer County's civil courthouse is at 175 South Broad Street and its criminal courthouse at 400 South Warren Street.

Beyond government, Capital Health Regional Medical Center operates at 750 Brunswick Avenue, Thomas Edison State University is based in the city and serves adult students, and Mercer County Community College runs its James Kerney Campus here. Downtown takes in the Mill Hill and Hanover/Academy neighborhoods, and the Trenton Transit Center links Amtrak, NJ Transit and SEPTA trains. With agencies, courts and the firms that work alongside them, many Trenton offices run on documents: filings, submissions, bid responses and records.

Areas served around Trenton: Ewing, Hamilton, Lawrence, Hopewell Township, Princeton, West Windsor, Robbinsville, Bordentown, plus Morrisville, Yardley, Lower Makefield and Falls Township across the river in Pennsylvania.

What Trenton offices should know before leasing a copier

Trenton is on the state's Urban Enterprise Zone list. A qualified UEZ business is exempt from sales tax on many items it leases for its own use if it gives the lessor a completed Form UZ-5. Certified UEZ sellers also charge a reduced 3.3125% on most retail sales.
Without an exemption, the full 6.625% sales tax on a lease longer than six months is collected at the start, not with each payment.
State and county offices are exempt with the right document. The State and its political subdivisions give the lessor a purchase order or contract signed by an authorized official instead of an ST-5.
Counties, municipalities, school districts and county and state colleges can buy from State cooperative contracts searchable in NJSTART. We do not claim to hold one.

Trenton questions we hear

Does the UEZ exemption cover a copier lease for our Trenton business?

For a qualified UEZ business, the Division of Taxation says many items leased for the business's own use are exempt, and the lessor must collect a completed UZ-5. Motor vehicles and telecommunications services are excluded. Qualified businesses recertify every three years, so confirm your status is current before you sign.

Our office is in Ewing or Hamilton, not Trenton. Does the UEZ benefit still apply?

Not on that basis. Ewing and Hamilton are not on the state's Urban Enterprise Zone list, so a business there would normally pay the standard 6.625% on a long-term lease. We still cover both townships through a partner dealer who serves the Trenton area.

We are a nonprofit near the State House. Can we lease without sales tax?

Only if your organization holds a New Jersey Exempt Organization Certificate (Form ST-5) and the copier is for its exclusive use. The lessor keeps a photocopy as proof. The Division of Taxation issues the ST-5 only to organizations that qualify for exempt status with New Jersey, so check with the Division if unsure.
