The Sell Local Bill
Tax breaks for corporations that sell local goods
"New Jersey Makes, the World Takes Act"; allows corporation business tax credit for selling New Jersey made products.
Mixed: some good, some bad ·
This bill would give corporations a tax break if they sell items that are made entirely in New Jersey.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
This bill tries to help local factories by giving stores a reward for selling their goods. But the reward is a tax break for corporations. When big businesses pay less in taxes, the state has less money for schools and roads. You should watch this bill to see if giving away tax money is the best way to help local workers.
