"The following history of NJ sales tax thanks to on-line
question response from New Jersey State Library:

In 1965 there was no sales tax. New Jersey's first sales tax
was enacted in 1935 at a rate of 2 percent. It expired in
1938. The Sales and Use Tax Act became effective July 1,
1966 and the rate was set at 3 percent. The rate was
increased to 5 percent effective March 1st, 1970 and to 6
percent effective Jan. 3, 1983, and to 7 percent effective
July 1, 1990. This rate was reduced to 6 percent effective
July 1, 1992."
