NJ Division of Taxation -Alcoholic Beverage Wholesaler Reporte

Alcoholic Beverage Wholesaler Report

If you are an alcoholic beverage manufacturer, distributor or wholesaler licensed by the New Jersey Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC), you are required to file a report annually to reconcile your sales for the year. You must file this report even if you made no sales during the time period. If you do not provide this report, or the required information on the report, we may deny your request for renewal of your ABC license.

"Wholesale sales" are sales for resale.
