cer must sign and date below.)
Under penalties of perjury, I declare that I have examined this election, and to the best of my knowledge and belief, it is true, correct, and complete.

Signature of authorized officer Title Date
1. Purpose - A corporation must file form CBT-2553 to elect to be
treated as a New Jersey S corporation or a New Jersey QSSS or
to report a change in shareholders. Check the appropriate box to
indicate if this is an initial S corporation election or a change in S
or QSSS corporation shareholders or a New Jersey QSSS elec-
tion.
2. Who may elect - A corporation may make the election to be treat-
ed as a New Jersey S corporation only if it meets all of the follow-
ing criteria:
a) The corporation is or will be an S corporation pursuant to
section 1361 of the Federal Internal Revenue Code;
b) Each shareholder of the corporation consents to the election
and the jurisdictional requirements as detailed in Part II of
this form;
c) The corporation consents to the election and the assumption
of any tax liabilities of any nonconsenting shareholder who
was not an initial shareholder as indicated in Part III of this
form.
3. Where to file - Mail form CBT-2553 to: New Jersey Division of
Revenue, PO Box 252, Trenton, NJ 08646-0252 (Registered Mail
Receipt is suggested)
4. When to make the election - The completed form CBT-2553 shall
be filed within one calendar month of the time at which a Federal
S corporation election would be required. Specifically, it must be
filed at any time before the 16th day of the fourth month of the first
tax year the election is to take effect (if the tax year has 3-1/2
months or less, and the election is made not later than 3 months
and 15 days after the first day of the tax year, it shall be treated as
timely made during such year). An election made by a small busi-
ness corporation after the fifteenth day of the fourth month but
before the end of the tax year is treated as made for the next year.
5. Acceptance or non-acceptance of election - The Division of
Revenue will notify you if your election is accepted or not accept-
ed within 30 days after the filing of the CBT-2553 form. If you are
not notified within 30 days, call (609) 292-9292.
6. End of election - Generally, once an election is made, a corpora-
tion remains a New Jersey S corporation as long as it is a Federal
S corporation. There is a limited opportunity to revoke an election
only during the first tax year to which an election would otherwise
apply. To revoke an election, a letter of revocation signed by
shareholders holding more than 50% of the outstanding shares of
stock on the day of revocation should be mailed to the address in
instruction 3 on or before the last day of the first tax year to which
the election would otherwise apply. A copy of the original election
should accompany the letter of revocation. Such a revocation will
render the original election null and void from inception.
7. Initial election - Complete Parts I, II and III in their entirety for an
initial New Jersey S Corporation election. Each shareholder who
owns (or is deemed to own) stock at the time the election is made,
must consent to the election. A list providing the social security
number and the address of any shareholder who is not a New
Jersey resident must be attached when filing this form.
8. Reporting shareholders who were not initial shareholders -
Complete Parts I, II and III when filing this form to report any new
shareholder. A new shareholder is a shareholder who, prior to the
acquisition of stock, did not own any shares of stock in the S cor-
poration, but who acquired stock (either existing shares or shares
issued at a later date) subsequent to the initial New Jersey S cor-
poration election. If a new shareholder fails to sign a consent
statement, the corporation is obligated to fulfill the tax require-
ments as stated in Part III on behalf of the nonconsenting share-
holder. An existing shareholder whose percentage of stock own-
ership changes is not considered a new shareholder. If the tax-
payer previously had elected to be treated as a New Jersey QSSS,
the new shareholder must also complete Part V.
9. Part IV should only be completed for any person who is no longer
a shareholder of the corporation. You do not have to enter any
shareholder who sold or transferred all of his or her stock before
the election was made. All changes can be filed with the S corpo-
ration final return.
10. Part V must be completed in order to permit a New Jersey S
Corporation to be treated as a New Jersey Qualified Subchapter S
Subsidiary and remit only a minimum tax. In addition, the parent
company also must consent to filing and remitting New Jersey
Corporation Business Tax which would include the assets, liabili-
ties, income and expenses of its QSSS along with its own. Failure
of the parent either to consent or file a CBT-100 or CBT-100S for
a period will result in the disallowance of the New Jersey QSSS
election and require the subsidiary to file and remit a CBT-100S
determining its own liability.
Corporate Parent Company’s Consent Statement
- By signing this election, the undersigned corporation consents (1) to the subsidiary’s elec-
tion to be treated as a “New Jersey Qualified Subchapter S Subsidiary” and (2) to taxation by New Jersey by filing a CBT-100S or a CBT-100 and
remitting the appropriate tax liability including the assets, liabilities, income, and expenses of its QSSS.

Section 15 – Notice of Election for Suppliers and Permissive Suppliers
THIS NOTICE OF ELECTION PROVIDES FOR THE PRECOLLECTION OF THE NEW JERSEY MOTOR FUEL TAX ON ALL REMOVALS FROM
ALL OUT-OF-STATE TERMINALS LISTED IN SECTION 12 WHERE SUPPLIERS OR PERMISSIVE SUPPLIERS ARE POSITION HOLDERS.
We elect to treat all removals from all out-of-state terminals with a destination into New Jersey as shown on the terminal-issued shipping
papers as if the removals were removed across the rack by the supplier from a terminal in New Jersey as provided in Section 54:39-118.
We agree to precollect the New Jersey motor fuel tax in accordance with Chapter P.L 2010. C22 on all removals from a qualified terminal
where we are a position holder without regard to the license status of the person acquiring the fuel, the point of terms of the sale or the character of
delivery.
We further agree to waive any defense that the State of New Jersey lacks jurisdiction to require collection on all out-of-state sales by such
person as to which the person had knowledge that the shipments were destined for New Jersey and that New Jersey imposes the requirements under
its general police powers to regulate the movement of motor fuels.
NOTICE OF ELECTION must be signed by an authorized representative of the company as listed in Section 5 of this
application.
