Bill Summary
This bill allows an exemption for certain military compensation from the gross income tax for those servicemen and women domiciled in New Jersey but serving their duty outside of the State of New Jersey.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing New Jersey law to exempt certain military compensation from gross income tax for individuals who are domiciled in New Jersey, meaning they consider New Jersey their permanent home, but are stationed and serving outside of the state. This exemption applies to compensation paid by the United States for this service, ensuring that military personnel who are New Jersey residents do not have to pay state income tax on their paychecks while serving their country elsewhere. The bill also clarifies that compensation for service performed by individuals not domiciled in New Jersey is also exempt, and it maintains existing exemptions for mustering-out payments and housing and subsistence allowances for active and reserve military members and National Guard members on state active duty.
