River Systems, Inc. v. State
River Systems, Inc. v. State
Opinion of the Court
Under N.J.S.A 54:10A-6, a New Jersey corporation that maintains a regular place of business outside New Jersey may allocate a portion of its income away from New Jersey in computing income taxable under the New Jersey Corporate Business Tax Act, N.J.S.A. 54:10A-1 to -4. Plaintiffs, River Systems, Inc.,
Plaintiffs’ complaints were consolidated in the Tax Court and heard on motions and cross-motions for summary judgment. Judge Joseph C. Small granted summary judgment in defendant’s favor.
On appeal, plaintiffs assert that the judge erred because: (1) they maintain a regular place of business outside New Jersey and are thus entitled to utilize the business formula of N.J.S.A 54:10A-6 to determine which portions of their income are to be used in measuring corporate business tax due; (2) even if they do not maintain a regular place of business outside New Jersey, they are entitled to the application of the three-factor allocation formula of N.J.S.A. 54:10A-6 through N.J.S.A. 54:10A-8; and (3) genuine issues of material fact exist precluding the grant of summary judgment in favor of defendant.
We affirm substantially for the reasons expressed by Judge Small, whose opinion is reported at 19 N.J.Tax 599 (Tax 2001).
Affirmed.
