New Jersey Tax Amnesty Program Begins
As part of the budget agreement adopted in early July, the New Jersey Division of Taxation is conducting a tax amnesty program that began November 15, 2018 and will run through January 15, 2019. For tax returns or payments due on or after February 1, 2009, and prior to September 1, 2017, upon payment of any back taxes owed, plus payment of 50% of the interest owed, the remaining 50% of the interest along with all penalties will be waived.
Some taxpayers with known liabilities that are eligible for tax amnesty will have received letters with an assigned tax amnesty ID number and PIN to use on the tax amnesty website found at: www.taxamnesty.nj.gov. A dedicated tax amnesty hotline has also been established at: 1-800-781-8407. Payments are to be made through the amnesty website, either by e-check or credit card. If a payment is made by credit card, a 2.5% convenience fee will be tacked on. Checks will be accepted at Division of Taxation regional information centers located throughout the state.
It is worth noting that for eligible tax liabilities, a 5% amnesty penalty will be imposed after the amnesty period ends. This penalty cannot be waived or abated, and it is in addition to the penalties and interest that would otherwise apply.

Jet fuel tax increase could impact airline employees, passengers and industry
The unions that represent nearly 73,000 employees of United Airlines - Airline Division of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters; United Airlines Master Executive Council Association of Flight Attendants - CWA; United Master Executive Council Air Line Pilots Association; International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers - District Lodge 141; and the Professional Airline Flight Control Association -- strongly oppose any legislation that would increase the effective tax rate on jet fuel in New Jersey. Increasing this tax will put good-paying jobs at risk, negatively impact passengers and the commercial aviation industry in New Jersey as well as our union members working in the region, and make our state less competitive.
Commercial aviation is a major driver of New Jersey's economy, supporting nearly 150,000 jobs and $22 billion in economic activity. The total cost to operate at Newark airport, when you factor in taxes, facility rates/charges and landing fees, is already the most expensive in the country. Higher taxes on jet fuel would significantly drive up costs for airlines and their business/leisure passengers in the state, potentially leading to less travel and trade flowing through New Jersey. This proposal will make New Jersey less competitive and will cause airlines to grow and hire more workers in other states, like New York, which would have a lower jet fuel tax under this scenario.Simply put, increasing the jet fuel tax will put good paying aviation jobs at risk, and these are the kind of jobs we need now more than ever in New Jersey.
United's employees depend on a robust and growing aviation industry and oppose state legislation that would make it more challenging to support good-paying, high-skilled jobs at and around Newark airport.
