Editor's Note: See N.J.S.A. 24-6I-36.
A.
There is hereby imposed a transfer tax of 2% on receipts from the
retail sales of cannabis items by a cannabis retailer. There is hereby
imposed a user tax of 2% on the value of each transfer or use of cannabis
or cannabis items not otherwise subject to the transfer tax from the
license holder's establishment that is located in Rochelle Park to
any of the other license holder's establishments, whether located
in Rochelle Park or another municipality, except that the user tax
shall not be applicable to inventory transfers from one cannabis retail
facility to another cannabis retail facility if those cannabis retail
facilities are owned and operated by the same licensed entity.
B.
There is hereby imposed a transfer fee of 2% on receipts from the
sale of medical cannabis items. There is hereby imposed a user fee
of 2% on the value of each transfer or use of medical cannabis items
not otherwise subject to the transfer fee from the license holder's
establishment that is located in Rochelle Park to any of the other
license holder's establishments, whether located in Rochelle Park
or another municipality, except that the user fee shall not be applicable
to inventory transfers from one medical marijuana dispensary to another
medical marijuana dispensary if those medical marijuana dispensaries
are owned and operated by the same permitted entity.
C.
Such taxes and fees shall be collected or paid and remitted to the
municipality by the cannabis facility from the cannabis facility purchasing
or receiving the cannabis or cannabis item, or from the consumer at
the point of sale, on behalf of the municipality by the cannabis retailer
selling the cannabis item to that consumer. The transfer or user tax
and fees shall be stated, charged, and shown separately on any sales
slip, invoice, receipt, or other statement or memorandum of the price
paid or payable, or equivalent value of the transfer for the cannabis
or cannabis item. No cannabis facility required to collect a transfer
tax or fee imposed hereunder shall advertise or hold out to any person
or to the public in general, in any manner, directly or indirectly,
that the transfer tax or fee or user tax or fee will not be separately
charged and stated to another cannabis facility or the consumer or
that the transfer tax or fee will be refunded to the cannabis facility
or the consumer.
Every cannabis facility required to collect a transfer tax imposed
by ordinance pursuant to this chapter shall be personally liable for
the transfer tax or user tax imposed, collected, or required to be
collected under this chapter. Any cannabis facility shall have the
same right with respect to collecting the transfer tax from another
cannabis facility or the consumer as if the transfer tax was a part
of the sale and payable at the same time, or with respect to nonpayment
of the transfer tax or user tax by the cannabis facility or consumer,
as if the transfer tax was a part of the purchase price of the cannabis
or cannabis item, or equivalent value of the transfer of the cannabis
or cannabis item, and payable at the same time.
All revenues collected from a transfer tax imposed by ordinance
pursuant to this chapter shall be remitted to the Chief Financial
Officer or his designee in the manner prescribed herein. The Chief
Financial Officer or his designee shall collect and administer any
transfer tax imposed by ordinance pursuant to this chapter. The municipality
may enforce the payment of delinquent taxes or transfer fees imposed
by ordinance pursuant to this chapter in the same manner as provided
for municipal real property taxes. In the event that the transfer
tax imposed by ordinance pursuant to this chapter is not paid as and
when due by a cannabis facility, the unpaid balance, and any interest
accruing thereon, shall be a lien on the parcel of real property comprising
the cannabis facility's premises in the same manner as all other unpaid
municipal taxes, fees, or other charges. The lien shall be superior
and paramount to the interest in the parcel of any owner, lessee,
tenant, mortgagee, or other person, except the lien of municipal taxes,
and shall be on a parity with and deemed equal to the municipal lien
on the parcel for unpaid property taxes due and owing in the same
year. The lien shall be enforced as a municipal lien in the same manner
as all other municipal liens are enforced.
The Chief Financial Officer is charged with the administration
and enforcement of the provisions of this chapter and is empowered
to prescribe, adopt, promulgate and enforce rules and regulations
relating to any matter pertaining to the administration and enforcement
of this chapter, including provisions for the reexamination and corrections
of declarations and returns, and of payments alleged or found to be
incorrect, or as to which an overpayment is claimed or found to have
occurred, and to prescribe forms necessary for the administration
of this chapter. Should a cannabis facility fail or refuse to provide
adequate information to the Chief Financial Officer or his designee
to determine the amount of tax due, the Chief Financial Officer or
his designee may use information provided to the Chief Financial Officer
or his designee from other sources (i.e., the Commission or Department
of Treasury) to determine the amount of tax liability.
A.
Each cannabis retail facility shall send a statement by mail or electronically
to the Township on or before the last day of each annual quarter or
such other term as required by the state. The statement must contain
an account of the amount of cannabis or cannabis products sold or
transferred to consumers and/or cannabis delivery facilities during
the preceding quarter, setting out:
(1)
The total number of ounces, including fractional ounces, sold or
transferred;
(2)
The quantity of cannabis products sold or transferred;
(3)
If to a cannabis delivery service, the cannabis delivery facility's
licensing information;
(4)
Such other information as may be necessary for the Township to determine
and verify the tax or fee due to the Township.
B.
The cannabis facility shall pay quarterly, or at such term set by
the Township, all taxes or fees, computed at the rates prescribed
in this chapter, on the respective total quantities of the cannabis
sold or transferred during the preceding quarter or applicable period.
The quarterly return shall be filed and the tax paid on or before
the 15th day of the month to cover the preceding quarter. Failure
to file the quarterly tax return and pay the applicable taxes on or
before the 15th day of the month shall constitute a violation of this
chapter. The Chief Financial Officer or his designee is hereby authorized
to examine the books, papers and records of any taxpayer to verify
the accuracy of any declaration or return or, if no declaration or
return was filed, to ascertain the tax due. Every taxpayer is hereby
directed and required to give to the Chief Financial Officer, or to
any agent designated by him/her, the means, facilities and opportunity
for such examinations and investigations as are hereby authorized.
Such information will be made available within three days of being
requested.
Taxpayers liable for the transfer tax are required to keep such
records as will enable the filing of true and accurate returns or
the tax and such records shall be preserved for a period of not less
than three years from the filing date or due date, whichever is later,
in order to enable the Chief Financial Officer or his designee to
verify the correctness of the declarations or returns filed. If records
are not available in the municipality to support the returns which
were filed or which should have been filed, the taxpayer will be required
to make them available to the Chief Financial Officer or his designee
either by producing them at a location in the municipality or by paying
for the expenses incurred by the Chief Financial Officer or his designee
in traveling to the place where the records are regularly kept.
Delinquent payments under this chapter shall be subject to the
interest rate imposed upon unpaid taxes. If a cannabis facility fails
to pay the tax to the Township of Rochelle Park, the cannabis facility's
license may be revoked.
The returns filed by taxpayers, and the records and files of
the Chief Financial Officer or his designee respecting the administration
of the transfer tax, shall be considered confidential and privileged,
and neither the municipality nor any employee or agent engaged in
the administration thereof or charged with the custody of any such
records or files, nor any former officer or employee, nor any person
who may have secured information therefrom, shall divulge, disclose,
use for their own personal advantage, or examine for any reason other
than a reason necessitated by the performance of official duties any
information obtained from the said records or files or from any examination
or inspection of the premises or property of any person. Neither the
Chief Financial Officer nor any employee engaged in such administration
or charged with the custody of any such records or files shall be
required to produce any of them for the inspection of any person or
for use in any action or proceeding except when the records or files
or the facts shown thereby are directly involved in an action or proceeding
under the provisions of the State Uniform Tax Procedure Law[1] or of the tax law affected or where the determination
of the action or proceeding will affect the validity or amount of
the claim of the municipality under the tax provisions of this chapter.
[1]
Editor's Note: See N.J.S.A. 54:48-1 et seq.
The Chief Financial Officer may initiate an audit by means of
an audit notice. If, as a result of an examination conducted by the
Chief Financial Officer or his designee, a return has not been filed
by a taxpayer or a return is found to be incorrect and transfer taxes
are owed, the Chief Financial Officer is authorized to assess and
collect any tax due. If no return has been filed and tax is found
to be due, the tax actually due may be assessed and collected with
or without the formality of obtaining a return from the taxpayer.
Deficiency assessments (i.e., where a taxpayer has filed a return
but is found to owe additional tax) shall include taxes for up to
three years to the date when the deficiency is assessed. Where no
return was filed, there shall be no limit to the period of assessment.
