CRC
Target: Mid 2027New Jersey CRC-aware dispensary platform
Built for the independent New Jersey operator who already knows what their software costs them. CRC rules native — state 6.625% sales tax, the cultivator-side Social Equity Excise Fee handled off-register as cost basis, up to 2% local transfer tax, traceability handoff, and the medical/adult-use lane split CRC requires. The SEEF math most multi-state POS botch — by putting it on the receipt. It’s not a receipt line, and we keep it off your sales export.
Regulator
New Jersey Cannabis Regulatory Commission (CRC)
https://www.nj.gov/cannabis ↗Your rules, handled
New Jersey’s cannabis retail rules — what the CRC requires at the counter, how sales are reported to the state, and what the taxes are — are researched from the regulator’s own pages and coded into the register. You run the shop; the rules are handled at the sale.
At the register, as of September 2026: 6.625% state sales tax on adult-use sales, with medical exempt, plus a municipal cannabis transfer tax of up to 2% where your town has adopted one; the Social Equity Excise Fee is paid upstream and reaches you as cost.
Coverage here — honestly
New Jersey coverage is written against CRC rules: the bulletins, the SEEF and local transfer-tax stack, and the advertising-restriction framework. We keep it current as the CRC moves, and where something isn’t built for NJ yet we say so before you sign.
