Newark imposes a 15% municipal parking tax on the gross receipts of commercial parking lots and garages under NJ §40:48C-6, a major revenue source given Penn Station and EWR airport demand.
Authorized by NJ §40:48C-6, Newark levies a 15 percent parking tax on the gross fees collected by commercial off-street parking lots and garages, including those serving Newark Penn Station, the Prudential Center, downtown employers, and EWR off-airport shuttle lots. Operators register with the Newark Tax Abatement and Special Taxes Office and remit monthly. Hotel valet parking and monthly contract parking are covered. On-street meter revenue is excluded because it is a city operation, not a private receipt subject to the tax.
Operating an unregistered lot or under-reporting receipts can result in back taxes, interest, civil penalties, and revocation of the city zoning approval needed to operate the parking facility.
