How do you Dissolve a New Jersey Corporation?

Answer:
To dissolve a New Jersey Corporation, a Certificate of Dissolution must

be filed with the office of the Secretary of State. New Jersey also requires corporations to submit required tax forms and pay outstanding tax obligations when applying for dissolution. Both the application for a Tax Clearance Certificate and Estimated Summary Tax return must be sent to the state’s Department of Revenue when filing for dissolution.

Information required to complete the Certificate of Dissolution includes: the name of the corporation, the corporation’s number, the date dissolution was adopted, the name of the registered agent, the address of the registered office, and the names and addresses of all directors and officers.

The Certificate of Dissolution must be signed by every shareholder of the corporation, either in person or by proxy. By action of signing the form, officers and directors attest that the company has truly ceased doing business, that the decision to dissolve was made in accordance with state law, and acknowledge that cash and property distributions are subject to individual taxation. The form is available for download at http://www.state.nj.us/treasury/revenue/dissolvewithdraw.htm and must be submitted to the Secretary of State along with the required filing fee.
