NJ LOVES YOUR MONEY! Tax and Spend!!!

NJ1015.COM

TRENTON, NJ --It’s always been difficult to live in New Jersey because of the onerous taxes, restrictions and fees, but due to the fact that we are a creative and industrious lot, we’ve always found a way to make it through. Traditionally, New Jersey property owners have found a couple of extra bucks by either buying summer rental properties or, more recently, using their already existing properties as short term rentals through Airbnb or similar sites. But even that revenue stream is not safe from the hungry New Jersey tax monster, hungrier now due to a governor who never saw a tax he didn’t like.
