U.E.Z. PROGRAM

The UEZ Business Certification System is accessible only through New Jersey Premier Business Services (PBS).

You will only need to register for PBS and My New Jersey once. After your initial registration, you will be able to log on once and access the UEZ Business Certification System as well as additional State of New Jersey online services.

Quick Start—

On the Internet, go to Premier Business Services (https://www16.state.nj.us/NJ_PREMIER_EBIZ/jsp/home.jsp).
If you already have a My New Jersey account and a PBS account, LOG ON and conduct your business as usual.
If you need to create one or both of these accounts, click the START button and follow the instructions on the screens. If you do not have a My New Jersey User ID and Password, you’ll be able to set one up during the registration process.
After you have activated your PBS account, you can add business(es) to the account. After a business is added, you will have access to Service Centers – such as applying for UEZ Certification.
Returning users can access their accounts at Premier Business Services. (Bookmark this page or add it to your Internet browser’s favorites.)

Need a competitive edge to help your business grow and thrive?

Asbury Park has the answer. The waterfront development plan has been approved. The revitalization of the downtown shopping district is well underway. The Asbury Park Urban Enterprise Zone Program (APUEZ) offers participating businesses an advantage by providing incentives that encourage growth while stimulating the local economy. Build your business with the help of the APUEZ program:

· 100% sales tax exemption for specified materials and tangible personal property.

· Qualified retail businesses may charge 50% of the 7% NJ sales tax on certain "in person" purchases.

· Revenues generated from the 3.5% sales tax are maintained in a Zone Assistance Fund (ZAF) dedicated for use within the APUEZ for certain economic development and/or public service improvement projects.

· One-time corporation tax credit of $1,500 for each new, full-time permanent employee who is a resident of Asbury Park and has been unemployed for at least 90 days or dependent upon public assistance.

· Subsidized unemployment insurance for certain new employees with gross salaries of less than $4,500 per quarter as per Department of Labor schedule.

· Tax credit against the Corporation Business Tax of 8% if investment is an approved "In Lieu" agreement with the Urban Enterprise Zone Authority and City of Asbury Park.

· Priority financial assistance from the New Jersey Local Development Financing Fund (LDFF) and Department of Labor Job Training Program.

It's finally happening where the city meets the sea. Why not take advantage of all Asbury Park has to offer? For additional information, please contact Tom Gilmour, Director of Commerce at (732) 502-5749.
