54:10A-15.11 Tax payment by certain partnerships; definitions.  12. a. (1) A partnership that is not a qualified investment partnership or an investment club and that is not listed on a United States national stock exchange shall, on or before the 15th day of the fourth month succeeding the close of each privilege period, remit a payment of tax. The amount of tax shall be equal to the sum of: all of the share of the entire net income of the partnership for that privilege period of all nonresident noncorporate partners, multiplied by an allocation factor determined, pursuant to section 6 of P.L.1945, c.162 (C.54:10A-6), based on the allocation fractions of the partnership for that privilege period, and multiplied by .0637 plus all of the share of the entire net income of the partnership for that privilege period of all nonresident corporate partners, multiplied by an allocation factor determined, pursuant to section 6 of P.L.1945, c.162 (C.54:10A-6), based on the allocation fractions of the partnership for that privilege period, and multiplied by .09. (2) (a) A partnership that is subject to the tax payment requirements of paragraph (1) of this subsection shall make installment payments of 25% of that tax on or before the 15th day of each of the fourth month, sixth month and ninth month of the privilege period and on or before the 15th day of the first month succeeding the close of the privilege period. (b) A partnership required to make an installment payment pursuant to subparagraph (a) of this paragraph shall be deemed to make an installment payment subject to the provisions of section 5 of P.L.1981, c.184 (C.54:10A-15.4) and shall be liable for any additions to tax provided thereunder. b. An amount of tax paid by a partnership pursuant to paragraph (1) of subsection a. of this section and an installment payment paid pursuant to subparagraph (a) of paragraph (2) of subsection a. of this section shall be credited to the partnership accounts of its nonresident partners in proportion to each nonresident partner's share of allocated entire net income and the multiplier rate for that partner class under subsection a. of this section, and each amount of tax so credited shall be deemed to have been paid by the respective partner in respect of the privilege period or taxable year of the partner. Provided, however, that only a nonresident partner who files a New Jersey tax return and reports income that is subject to tax in this State may apply the tax paid by the partnership and credited to the nonresident partner's partnership account against the partner's tax liability; and provided further that a partnership that pays tax pursuant to this section shall not be entitled to claim a refund of payments credited to any of its nonresident partners. c. For the purposes of this section: "Investment club" means an entity: that is classified as a partnership for federal income tax purposes; all of the owners of which are individuals; all of the assets of which are securities, cash, or cash equivalents; the market value of the total assets of which do not exceed, as measured on the last day of its privilege period, an amount equal to the lesser of $250,000 or $35,000 per owner of the entity; and which is not required to register itself or its membership interests with the federal Securities and Exchange Commission; provided that beginning with privilege periods commencing on or after January 1, 2003 the director shall prescribe the total asset value amounts which shall apply by increasing the $250,000 total asset amount and the per owner $35,000 amount hereinabove by an inflation adjustment factor, which amounts shall be rounded to the next highest multiple of $100. The inflation adjustment factor shall be equal to the factor calculated by dividing the consumer price index for urban wage earners and clerical workers for the nation, as prepared by the United States Department of Labor for September of the calendar year prior to the calendar year in which the privilege period begins, by that index for September of 2001; "Nonresident noncorporate partner" means, an individual, an estate or a trust subject to taxation pursuant to the "New Jersey Gross Income Tax Act," N.J.S.54A:1-1 et seq., that is not a resident taxpayer or a resident estate or trust under that act; "Nonresident corporate partner" means a partner that is not an individual, an estate or a trust subject to taxation pursuant to the "New Jersey Gross Income Tax Act," N.J.S.54A:1-1 et seq., that is not a corporation exempt from tax pursuant to section 3 of P.L.1945, c.162 (C.54:10A-3), and that does not maintain a regular place of business in this State other than a statutory office; and "Partner" means an owner of an interest in the partnership, in whatever manner that owner and ownership interest are designated.
