N.J. Admin. Code § 18:7-11.7 - Time for filing returns
(a) For privilege
periods ending before July 31, 2020, the appropriate annual corporation
business tax return, together with payment of the tax, including the required
prepayment, must be filed with the Division of Taxation on or before the 15th
day of the fourth month after the close of each fiscal or calendar accounting
period. For privilege periods beginning on and after July 31, 2020, but before
July 31, 2023, the due date of the New Jersey corporation business tax return
shall be 30 days after the original due date for filing the taxpayer's Federal
corporate income tax return for such privilege period, or part thereof, and the
full amount of the tax pursuant to this section shall be due and payable on or
before the date prescribed in this section for the filing of the return. For
privilege periods ending on and after July 31, 2023, the due date of the New
Jersey return shall be the 15th day of the month following the month of the
original due date of the Federal return for such privilege period (that is, the
15th day of the fifth month after the end of the privilege period), or part
thereof, and the full amount of the tax pursuant to this section shall be due
and payable on or before the date prescribed in this section for the filing of
the return.
(b) For a return that
is permitted to be mailed instead of being filed according to the electronic
filing mandate, such return is timely filed and deemed delivered on the date of
the United States Postal Service postmark stamped on the envelope. See
N.J.S.A.
54:49-3.1.
(c) A return is timely filed when it is
submitted to the Division of Taxation on the next business day, if the due date
falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or State holiday.
(d) For privilege periods beginning on and
after July 31, 2020, but before July 31, 2023, if the 30th day after the
original due date for filing the taxpayer's Federal corporate income tax return
is a business day on the 14th of the month and the 15th of said month is also a
business day, then the 15th of the month shall be deemed the due date of the
New Jersey corporation business tax return.
(e) For a taxpayer (not including a taxpayer
filing as a New Jersey S corporation) with a fiscal year ending June 30, the
original due date of the CBT return is November 15th.
