AI Summary
This bill eliminates the minimum corporation business tax for New Jersey S corporations, which are businesses that have elected to be taxed under Subchapter S of the federal Internal Revenue Code, meaning their profits and losses are passed through directly to their shareholders and are not taxed at the corporate level. Previously, these corporations were subject to a tiered minimum tax based on their New Jersey gross receipts, ranging from $500 to $2,000. The purpose of this change, which applies to tax periods starting on or after January 1, 2010, is to reduce the financial burden on S corporation shareholders, thereby lessening the impact of double taxation.
