Enforceable with three-pronged test. Reformation available.
Enforceable under common law if reasonable. New Jersey courts apply a three-pronged test from the Solari/Whitmyer cases: the restraint must protect a legitimate interest, must not impose an undue hardship on the employee, and must not injure the public. Courts will blue-pencil and reform overbroad covenants. The state has considered but not enacted legislation to ban non-competes.
New Jersey imposes an 11.5% corporate business tax on income over $10 million (9% on income under $1 million), making it one of the highest in the nation. The state also levies a separate minimum tax based on gross receipts. Pass-through entities can elect the Business Alternative Income Tax (BAIT). New Jersey requires combined reporting for unitary groups.
Entity mergers require filing with the New Jersey Division of Revenue. The Division of Taxation requires 10 business days' advance notice of bulk sales (Form C-9600). Annual reports are required. Foreign entities must obtain a Certificate of Authority.
New Jersey retains its Bulk Sale provisions under the New Jersey Bulk Sale Law (N.J.S.A. 54:32B-22(c)) for tax purposes. Buyers must provide the Division of Taxation at least 10 business days' notice before a bulk sale and must withhold sufficient funds from the purchase price to cover the seller's tax liabilities, or obtain a letter of no further obligation.
