Sales tax for Elizabeth, NJ
I know in NJ, the sales tax is 6%. 3% goes to the state and the other 3% goes to the city. Elizabeth, NJ doesn't charge the 3%. I know this is true for IKEA and videogames, etc.
On what items does the city of Elizabeth charge the 3% tax? Cell phones?

As far as I am aware. The entire 6% goes to the state. I sell items from time to time and collect sales tax. I only report, and send money, to the state. I have no idea if they split it up.
Elizabeth is considered some kind of urban development zone. They only charge 3% there to encourage people to shop there.

I thought 3% went to the state, and 3% to the local county, and in an UEZ the state forgoes it's portion. I may be misinformed though.
A UEZ is usually just a portion of a city, so although IKEA is in an UEZ in Elizabeth, I think that some stuff over by Rts 1&9 isn't. Also, the 3% break isn't available on automobiles, and I don't think it's available on cell phones either.

I know some stores only support the 3% sales tax. For instance, in Jersey Garden's mall, Bed Bath and Beyond charged me 3% for the city, and 3% for state.
