A MESSAGE TO THE TAXPAYER
The 2009 New Jersey Corporation Business Tax Return, Form CBT-100, and instructions are included in
this packet. As indicated on the top of page 1 of the tax form, this packet should be used only for account-
ing periods ending on or after July 31, 2009 through June 30, 2010. Please note that registration marks
are located on pages 1 through 4 of the tax return in order to facilitate the processing of the return. Also
note that Federal S Corporations that have not elected NJ S Corporation status must complete Schedule
A in full. It is no longer acceptable to submit federal form 1120S in lieu of completing lines 1 through 27.
The following changes are new for the 2009 tax year:
Schedule T - Acknowledgement of Responsibility, which was new last year, has been removed
from the tax return.
The following item was new for last year and is listed as a reminder:
A new tax credit, the Urban Transit Hub Tax Credit, is included on Schedule A-3, Summary of Tax
Credits. General information regarding this tax credit can be found in the instructions.
Please remember that the Annual Report must be filed and paid electronically by all business entities
including but not limited to corporations, limited liability companies, limited liability partnerships, limited
partnerships and non-profit entities. The paper form was eliminated and the Annual Report is no longer
part of the CBT-100 and CBT-100S tax returns. To file and pay electronically, visit the Division of
Revenue’s website at http://www
.st
ate.nj.us/njbgs.
The Annual Report, which is a statutorily mandated filing, contains vital public information and is required
to be filed annually. Filing the Annual Report electronically, improves the timeliness and accuracy of the
information presented to the legal and financial community about your business in such formats as status
reports and standing certificates.
Also, the Division continues to gather information from the Corporation Business Tax Returns in order to
provide statistics to the Study Commission created by the Business Tax Reform Act, P.L. 2002, Chapter
40. All taxpayers are requested to complete the schedules on the state forms rather than attaching sepa-
rate schedules.
If additional information is needed to complete this return, please contact the Division of Taxation’s
Customer Service Center at (609) 292-6400 or write to the Division of Taxation, Information and
Publications Branch, PO Box 281, Trenton, NJ 08695-0281.

tion or tax forms, follow the instructions on page 14.

and telephone number.
(d) Send the completed return to: State of New Jersey, Division of
Taxation, Revenue Processing Center, PO Box 666, Trenton,
NJ 08646-0666.
2. (a) Unless the corporation is inactive for the entire period covered
by the return, all schedules and questions must be answered
unless permission to omit or substitute is indicated on the return
form. All applicable schedules must be submitted on the official
New Jersey tax form. If the answer to any item is “No” or
“None”, write “No” or “None”. Do not merely leave the item
blank.
(b) Inactive corporations that, during the period covered by the
return, did not conduct any business, did not have any income,

3. (a) 2009 ACCOUNTING PERIODS AND DUE DATES: The 2009
Corporation Business Tax Return should only be used for
accounting periods ending on and after July 31, 2009 through
June 30, 2010. The due dates for all 2009 Corporation
Business Tax Returns and payments are reported on the fol-
lowing schedule.
Calendar or fiscal accounting year is the same accounting peri-
od upon which the taxpayer is required to report to the United
States Treasury Department for Federal Income Tax purposes.
Please note the ending month of the accounting period for
Federal returns and New Jersey returns must match, however,
the tax return year for the Federal and State returns may differ.
(i.e. A taxable year ending 8/31/08 may be filed on a 2007
Federal 1120; the same taxable year must be filed on a 2009 NJ
CBT-100.) All accounting periods must end on the last day of
the month, except that taxpayers may use the same 52-53 week
accounting year that is used for Federal Income Tax purposes,
see N.J.A.C. 18:7-2.3.
Do not alter the year appearing in the upper left hand corner of the
taxable year caption on page 1 of the CBT-100. Changing the
above information will delay the processing of your return. If
returns are required for a different year, please refer to the index on
page 13 of this booklet.

beginning 1) on the date of its incorporation, or 2) on the
first day of the month following its incorporation if so stat-
ed in its certificate of incorporation. Every corporation
which incorporates, qualifies or otherwise acquires a tax-
able status in New Jersey must file a Corporation
Business Tax Return. A tax return must be filed for each
fiscal period, or part thereof, beginning on the date the
corporation acquired a taxable status in New Jersey
regardless of whether it had any assets or conducted any
business activities. No return may cover a period exceed-
ing twelve (12) months, even by a day.
(2) Every corporation that elects to be a New Jersey S
Corporation must file a “New Jersey S Corporation or New
Jersey QSSS Election” (Form CBT-2553) within one cal-
endar month subsequent to the Federal S Corporation fil-
ing requirement.
(3) Every corporation which incorporates, qualifies or other-
wise acquires a taxable status in New Jersey and which
has adopted a fiscal year other than December 31, shall
advise the Division of Taxation promptly of the date of
such accounting period. If no such advice is received on
or before April 15, 2010, the taxpayer will be deemed
“delinquent” if no return is filed on or before April 15, 2010.
(c) TRANSACTING BUSINESS WITHOUT A CERTIFICATE OF
AUTHORITY: In addition to any other liabilities imposed by
law, a foreign corporation which transacts business in this
State without a certificate of authority shall forfeit to the State
a penalty of not less than $200.00, nor more than $1,000.00
for each calendar year, not more than 5 years prior thereto, in
which it shall have transacted business in this State without a
certificate of authority. N.J.S.A. 14A:13-11(3).
4. (a) PAYMENT OF TAX: Make remittance payable to “State of
New Jersey - CBT” and forward with the payment voucher,
Form CBT-100-V, provided in this packet. MAKE OUT A
SEPARATE REMITTANCE FOR EACH TAX RETURN (CBT-
100) OR ESTIMATED PAYMENT VOUCHER (CBT-150)
SUBMITTED. Do not remit the tax for two or more returns in
one check. Indicate the taxpayer’s Federal Employer
Identification Number on each remittance.
(b) All corporations are required to make installment payments of
estimated tax. Generally, these payments are remitted with
the form CBT-150. Refer to instruction 47 for further informa-
tion. If tax liability is $500, refer to 7(d).
(c) To make payments electronically, refer to the instructions on
page 14.
5. ELECTRONIC FUNDS TRANSFERS: The Division of Revenue
has established procedures to allow the remittance of tax pay-
ments through Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT). Taxpayers with
a prior year’s liability of $10,000 or more in any one tax are
required to remit all tax payments using EFT. If you have any
questions concerning the EFT program, call (609) 984-9830, fax
(609) 292-1777 or write to NJ Division of Revenue, EFT Section,
PO Box 191, Trenton, NJ 08646-0191.
6. PERSONAL LIABILITY OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS: Any
officer or director of any corporation who shall distribute or cause
to be distributed any assets in dissolution or liquidation to the
stockholders without having first paid all corporation franchise
taxes, fees, penalties and interest imposed upon said corporation,
in accordance with N.J.S.A. 14A:6-12, N.J.S.A. 54:50-18 and
other applicable provisions of law, shall be personally liable for
said unpaid taxes, fees, penalties and interest. Compliance with
N.J.S.A. 54:50-13 is also required in the case of certain mergers,
consolidations and dissolutions.
7. EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE RETURN/INSTRUCTIONS FOR
FORM CBT-200-T:
(a) AUTOMATIC EXTENSION: Where a tentative return, Form
CBT-200-T, and tax payment are timely and properly filed, it is
the policy of the Division of Taxation to grant an extension of
no more than six (6) months for filing the CBT-100.
The return must include the computation of tax liabilities on
lines 1 and 2 and, if applicable, the Key Corporation AMA and
Throw Out payments on line 3 and line 4 and the Tentative
Professional Fees on lines 5 and 6. The amounts reported on
lines 1, 3 and 4 must include the 4% surtax. Submit the com-
pleted CBT-200-T with payment of the total amount due as
reflected on line 9. The tentative return must be postmarked
on or before the original due date of the tax return.
(b) Where a request for extension is duly made, it will be granted
by the Division. Approved extensions will not be confirmed in
writing.
(c) MINIMUM TAX: see instruction 11(d).
(d) INSTALLMENT PAYMENT: Any taxpayer with a tax liability of
$500 on line 1, may make a payment of 50% of line 1 in lieu
of making the installment payments otherwise required.
Taxpayers that report a tax liability greater than $500 on line 1
should not make an entry on line 2 and are required to make
installment payments of estimated tax indicated in instruction
47. Any taxpayer with Professional Corporation Fee liabilities
at line 5 must report and remit an installment payment of 50%
of line 5.
(e) PENALTIES AND INTEREST
(1) Interest - The annual interest rate is 3% above the average
predominant prime rate. Interest is imposed each month

dend exclusion is an allowable deduction in computing a net
operating loss. The statute authorizes a carryover of the

or more, the minimum tax is $2,000 regardless of the amount of
the taxpayer’s NJ gross receipts, and Schedule A-GR need not be
completed.
23. SCHEDULE AM - ALTERNATIVE MINIMUM ASSESSMENT
FOR C CORPORATIONS: For privilege periods beginning on or
after January 1, 2002, all New Jersey taxpayers, unless otherwise
exempted, are required to pay a New Jersey Corporate Tax com-
puted pursuant to Section 5 of P.L. 1945, (C.54:10A-5), or the
elected Alternative Minimum Tax, whichever is greater. For
returns with privilege periods beginning after June 30, 2006, there
is no AMA, except for taxpayers claiming P.L. 86-272 immunity.
There are two methods of determining the Alternative Minimum
assessment: (a) based upon New Jersey Gross Receipts, and (b)
based upon New Jersey Gross Profits.
PART I - computes New Jersey gross receipts, which equals the
total of (1) sales of tangible personal property where shipment is
made to points within this state, appropriation to the orders where
shipment is made to points within this state, (2) services per-
formed within the state, (3) rentals from properties situated, (4)
royalties from the use of patents or copyrights, within the state,
and (5) all other business receipts earned within the state.
Investment income received by a taxpayer through ownership in
a foreign or domestic entity is considered gross receipts for pur-
poses of computing the taxpayer’s alternative minimum assess-
ment.
PART II - New Jersey gross receipts from Part I are used in Part
II to compute New Jersey gross profits. This is calculated by sub-
tracting New Jersey cost of goods sold from total New Jersey
gross receipts. New Jersey cost of goods sold is computed by
multiplying the total cost of goods sold (from Schedule A-2, line 8)
by the New Jersey allocation factor or the receipts fraction of the
allocation factor from Schedule J.
NJ Gross Receipts (from Schedule AM, Part I, line 6)
- NJ Cost of Goods Sold (from Schedule
AM, Part II, line 4)
= New Jersey Gross Profits
PART III - reports the New Jersey Gross Receipts and the New
Jersey Costs of Goods Sold historically for the current year and
the past 3 years.
NOTE: For taxpayers who were not required to file New Jersey
CBT returns for any or all of the three prior privilege periods,
enter N/A on the appropriate line(s).
PART IV - Computing the Alternative Minimum Assessment
based on Gross Profits: Enter amount of New Jersey Gross
Profits (from Part II, line 5) on Schedule AM, Part IV, line 1. If New
Jersey Gross Profits are:
(a) less than or equal to $1,000,000, the Alternative Minimum
Assessment based on Gross Profits will be zero;
(b) greater than $1,000,000, but not over $10,000,000, the
Alternative Minimum Assessment will be .0025 times the
gross profits in excess of $1,000,000, multiplied by the AMA
exclusion rate of 1.11111;
(c) greater than $10,000,000, but not over $15,000,000, the
Alternative Minimum Assessment will be the gross profits mul-
tiplied by .0035;
(d) greater than $15,000,000, but not over $25,000,000, the
Alternative Minimum Assessment will be the gross profits mul-
tiplied by .006;
(e) greater than $25,000,000, but not over $37,500,000, the
Alternative Minimum Assessment will be the gross profits mul-
tiplied by .007;
(f) greater than $37,500,000, the Alternative Minimum
Assessment will be the gross profits multiplied by .008.
PART V - Computing the Alternative Minimum Assessment based
on Gross Receipts: New Jersey gross receipts are used in
Schedule AM, Part V to determine the amount of tax due under
the gross receipts method. This method takes New Jersey gross
receipts and multiplies them by a certain percentage based on the
receipt amount.
Enter amount of New Jersey Gross Receipts (from Part I, line 5)
on Schedule AM, Part V, line 1. If New Jersey gross receipts are:
(a) less than or equal to $2,000,000, the Alternative Minimum
Assessment based on Gross Receipts will be zero;
(b) greater than $2,000,000, but not over $20,000,000, the
Alternative Minimum Assessment will be .00125 times the
gross receipts in excess of $2,000,000, multiplied by the AMA
exclusion rate of 1.11111;
(c) greater than $20,000,000, but not over $30,000,000, the
Alternative Minimum Assessment will be the gross receipts
multiplied by .00175;
(d) greater than $30,000,000, but not over $50,000,000, the
Alternative Minimum Assessment will be the gross receipts
multiplied by .003;
(e) greater than $50,000,000, but not over $75,000,000, the
Alternative Minimum Assessment will be the gross receipts
multiplied by .0035;
(f) greater than $75,000,000, the Alternative Minimum
Assessment will be the gross receipts multiplied by .004.
PART VI - For the first privilege period, the taxpayer has the
option to select the computation method of the Alternative
Minimum Assessment, either based on Gross Profits or Gross
Receipts. However, once selected, the method must be
employed for that privilege period, and for the next succeed-
ing four privilege periods.
The maximum Alternative Minimum Assessment for an individual
corporation for a privilege period will be $5,000,000. Taxpayer will
enter the lesser of the elected alternative minimum assessment
(from Schedule AM, Part VI, line 4), or $5,000,000, on Schedule
AM, Part V, line 5. Taxpayer will enter amount from Schedule AM,
Part IV, line 5, on Page 1 of CBT-100, line 14.
The amount of tax due for the privilege period will be the greater
of the elected Alternative Minimum Assessment, or the traditional
Corporate tax (computed pursuant to Section 5 of P.L. 1945,
(C.54:10A-5)).
PART VII - Enter the name of the designated Key Corporation of
the affiliated group on line 1 if the group is claiming the AMA
threshold limit of $20,000,000. Enter the Federal Identification
Number (FID) of the appointed Key Corporation on line 2.
24. SCHEDULE B - BALANCE SHEET: Every taxpayer must com-
plete this schedule. The amounts reported must be the same as
the year end figures shown on the taxpayer’s books. A taxpayer
that is included in a consolidated Federal income tax return must
complete this schedule on its own separate basis.

32. SCHEDULE J PART I - GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS REGARD-
ING ALLOCATION OF ADJUSTED ENTIRE NET INCOME:
(a) WHO IS PERMITTED TO ALLOCATE: No domestic or for-
eign corporation is permitted to allocate less than 100% of its
adjusted entire net income to New Jersey, unless, during the
period covered by the return, it actually maintained a regu-
lar place of business outside of New Jersey other than a
statutory office.
(b) DEFINITION OF REGULAR PLACE OF BUSINESS: A “reg-
ular place of business” is any bona fide office (other than a
statutory office), factory, warehouse, or other space of the tax-
payer which is regularly MAINTAINED, OCCUPIED and
USED by the taxpayer in carrying on its business and in which
one or more regular employees are in attendance. To main-
tain a place of business, the taxpayer must either own or rent
the premises. That cost must be borne directly by the tax-
payer and not by some related entity or person.
(c) ALLOCATION PERCENTAGES: In computing the allocation
factor in Schedule J, division must be carried to six decimal
places, e.g., .123456.
(d) ELECTION TO ALLOCATE: If the taxpayer is entitled to allo-
cate, the election should be made with the filing of the
Corporation Business Tax return regardless of the amount of
income reported on line 38 of Schedule A. Schedule J must
be completed to validate the election.
(e) Only the receipts, property and payroll expenses attributable
to operational activity are to be used in computing the alloca-
tion factor denominators.
33. SCHEDULE J PART II - AVERAGE VALUES: Average value is
generally computed on a quarterly basis where the taxpayer’s
accounting practice permits such computation. At the option of
the taxpayer or the State, a more frequent basis (monthly, weekly
or daily) may be used. Where the taxpayer’s accounting practice
does not permit computation of average value on a quarterly or
more frequent basis, semi-annual or annual frequency may be
used only where no distortion of average value results. If any
basis other than quarterly is used, state the basis and reasons for
use on attached rider.
The average values of real and tangible personal property owned
which are used in determining the property fraction of the alloca-
tion factor are based on book value. The numerator and denom-
inator must take into account accumulated depreciation deferred
for net income purposes where the taxpayer accounts for its prop-
erty on its books on a Federal income tax basis. Rented or leased
property is valued at eight times its annual rent, including any
amounts (such as taxes) paid or accrued in addition to or in lieu
of rent during the period covered by the return. All other proper-
ty which is used by the taxpayer but is neither owned, rented or
leased, should be valued at book value, however, if no such book
value exists, the market value of the property should be used.
34. SCHEDULE J PART III - COMPUTATION OF ALLOCATION
FACTOR: This schedule may be omitted if the taxpayer does not
maintain a regular place of business outside this State other than
a statutory office, in which case the tax law requires the allocation
factor to be 100%.
(a) However, if the allocation factor is 100% but the taxpayer in
fact pays tax to another state based on or measured by
income which is included on Schedule A of this return, it may
compute a reduction in its N.J. Corporation Business Tax
under certain conditions. Refer to N.J.A.C. 18:7-8.3 for eligi-
bility and the method of computing such reduction. A copy of
this regulation can be obtained from Taxpayer Forms Services
or NJ TaxFax. See index on page 13.
(b) Line 1 - PROPERTY FRACTION: For general information
regarding method of valuation in arriving at average values,
see instruction 32. Tangible personal property is within New
Jersey if and so long as it is physically situated or located
here. Property of the taxpayer held in New Jersey by an
agent, consignee or factor is (and property held outside New
Jersey by an agent, consignee or factor is not) situated or
located within New Jersey. Property, while in transit from a
point outside New Jersey to a point in New Jersey or vice
versa does not have a fixed situs either within or outside the
State and, therefore, will not be deemed to be “situated” or
“located” either within or outside New Jersey and accordingly
the average value of such property should be omitted from
both the numerator and the denominator of the property frac-
tion. Ships, aircraft, satellites used in the communications
industry, and other mobile or movable property are subject to
the specific rules defined in N.J.A.C. 18:7-8.4.
(c) Line 2(a) - 2(d) - RECEIPTS FRACTION: Receipts from
sales of tangible personal property are allocated to New
Jersey where the goods are shipped to points within New
Jersey.
Receipts from the sale of goods are allocable to New Jersey
if shipped to a New Jersey or a non-New Jersey customer
where possession is transferred in New Jersey. Receipts from
the sale of goods shipped to a taxpayer from outside of New
Jersey to a New Jersey customer by a common carrier are
allocable to New Jersey. Receipts from the sale of goods
shipped from outside of New Jersey to a New Jersey location
where the goods are picked up by a common carrier and
transported to a customer outside of New Jersey are not allo-
cable to New Jersey.
Receipts from the following are allocable to New Jersey; serv-
ices performed in New Jersey; rentals from property situated
in New Jersey; royalties from the use in New Jersey of patents
or copyrights; all other business receipts earned in New
Jersey.
(d) Lines 2(e) and 2(g)
(1) RECEIPTS FROM SALES OF CAPITAL ASSETS:
Receipts from sales of capital assets (property not held by
the taxpayer for sale to customers in the regular course of
business), either within or outside New Jersey, should be
included in the numerator and the denominator based
upon the net gain recognized and not upon gross selling
prices. Where the taxpayer’s business is the buying and
selling of real estate or the buying and selling of securities
for trading purposes, gross receipts from the sale of such
assets should be included in the numerator and the
denominator of the receipts fraction.
(2) DIVIDEND INCOME: The amount of dividends excluded
from entire net income at line 37, Schedule A, must not be
included in the numerator or denominator of the receipts
fraction.
(e) Line 2(h) - Receipts that have not been included in the numer-
ator of apportionment factor of another taxing jurisdiction’s tax
return based on income or measured by profits, business
presence or business activity, either on its own separate enti-
ty base or as part of a consolidated return, shall be excluded
from the denominator. Receipts that are “throwback sales” in
another jurisdiction also shall be excluded from the denomi-
nator.
(f) Lines 2(j) and 2(k) - The percentage of receipts in New
Jersey should be entered on both lines 2(j) and 2(k) to effect
a double-weighted receipts fraction in the computation of the
allocation factor.
(g) Line 3 - PAYROLL FRACTION: In general, a taxpayer report-
ing to the Division of Employer Accounts in the New Jersey
Department of Labor will allocate to New Jersey all wages,
salaries and other personal service compensation, etc.,
reportable to that Division, including the portions thereof, in
individual cases, in excess of taxable wages. All executive
salaries are includible in both the numerator and denominator.
- 7 -
www.state.nj.us/treasury/taxation/
See N.J.S.A. 54:10A-7 for the definition of wages, salaries
and other personal services compensation allocable to New
Jersey.
(h) ALLOCATION FACTOR - GENERAL: The allocation factor is
computed by adding together the percentages shown at lines
1(c), 2(j), 2(k) and 3(c) of Schedule J, Part III for the period
covered by the return, and dividing the total of the percent-
ages by four (4). However, if the property or payroll fraction is
missing, the remaining percentages are added and the sum is
divided by three. If the receipts fraction is missing, the other
two percentages are added and the sum is divided by two. If
two of the fractions are missing, the remaining percentage
may be used as the allocation factor. A fraction is not missing
merely because its numerator is zero, but is missing if its
denominator is zero.
If there is a declaration of nonoperational income, expenses,
or assets from Schedule O, those items attributable to the
non-operational activity should be excluded from the denomi-
nator of all three fractions of the allocation factor.
35. SCHEDULE J PART IV: Provide the name of the jurisdiction for
which the receipts have not been included in a tax return appor-
tionment numerator and the total amount of those receipts.
36. SCHEDULE J PARTS V and VI: Only corporations claiming the
affiliated group throw out limitation must complete Schedule J,
Parts V and VI. Part V must be completed to identify the Key
Corporation of the affiliated group who will be reporting and remit-
ting the increase tax effect limitation ($5,000,000). The Key
Corporation must also complete Form 400. See index on page
14. Part VI is a schedule for the computation of the Throw Out
Tax to be completed if the taxpayer is a member of an affiliated or
controlled group whose aggregate combined change in tax liabil-
ity exceeds $5,000,000 due to the throw out of receipts.
Taxpayers claiming the throw out limitation must use the alloca-
tion factor reported on Schedule J, Part VI, line 17, to compute
their individual tax liability. Enter this number on page 1, line 2
CBT-100. Taxpayers NOT claiming the throw out limitation must
use the allocation factor reported on Schedule J, Part III, line 5.
Enter this number on page 1, line 2 of the CBT-100.

pany and any other entity which is treated for Federal tax purpos-
es as a partnership. List the name, the Federal Identification

qualified mass commuting vehicle pursuant to the Federal
Internal Revenue Code Section 168(f)(8)(D)(v) need not be
added back to net income.

restored as an item of income, any deficiency of depreciation
disallowed at line 11(a) and (b) over related depreciation

credit computation for the tax year in which the investment
was made as well as each of the following two tax years. The
tax credit computation for the first year is based on the cost of
the qualified manufacturing equipment placed in service in
New Jersey during that tax year. The computations for the two
following tax years are based on the average increase in New
Jersey residents employed in New Jersey subject to a limita-
tion based on the cost of the investment made in the first year.
The manufacturing equipment portion is limited to 2% (or 4%,
if applicable) of the investment credit base of qualified equip-
ment placed in service in the tax year, up to a maximum
allowed credit for the tax year of $1,000,000. The employ-
ment investment portion is valid for each of the two tax years
next succeeding the tax year for which the manufacturing
equipment credit is allowed, but is limited to 3% of the invest-
ment credit base, not to exceed a maximum allowable amount
for each of the two tax years of $1,000 multiplied by the
increase in the average number of qualified employees.
To claim this credit, the taxpayer must complete Form 305 and

dominant prime rate. Interest is imposed each month or fraction
thereof on the unpaid balance of tax from the original due date to

ance on which interest will be charged. The interest rates

terly issues of the New Jersey State Tax News. See “Tax Forms

any of the exceptions to the imposition of interest for any of the
installment payments, Part II must be completed and should be
filed with the taxpayer’s return, form CBT-100, as evidence of
such exception. The CBT-160 must be attached to the return and
