When is New Jersey sales tax due?

New Jersey quarterly returns are due the 20th of the month after the quarter (ST-50; calendar quarters). When a due date lands on a weekend or federal holiday it moves to the next business day; the 2026 calendar on this page already applies that adjustment.

From a filing deadline to a reviewable return.
