PART I
QUALIFICATIONS
In order to be eligible for the tax credit, the answer to all questions in Part I must be “YES”. If the answer to any of the questions is
“NO”, the taxpayer is NOT entitled to the Effluent Equipment Tax Credit.
Taxpayers that have received the determination of environmentally beneficial operation from the Commissioner of the Department of
Environmental Protection must attach a copy of each determination along with Form 312 to the tax return. Also, taxpayers must include
an affidavit stating that the treatment equipment or conveyance equipment is or will be used exclusively in New Jersey.
NOTE: No amount of cost included in the calculation of this tax credit shall be included in the costs for calculation of any other credit
against the tax imposed pursuant to section 5 of P.L. 1945, c.162 (N.J.S.A. 54:10A-5).
PART II
EFFLUENT TREATMENT AND CONVEYANCE EQUIPMENT
Complete the information requested in each of the columns (A) through (I) for each piece of equipment. If additional space is needed,
attach a rider in like format containing the information required in columns (A) through (I).
The cost amount to be reported in Column (C) is the invoice cost of the equipment.
Column (D) must reflect the total of the amount of any loan from the Department of Environmental Protection made pursuant to section
5 of P.L. 1981, c. 278 as amended (N.J.S.A. 13:1E-96) plus the amount of any Sales and Use Tax paid pursuant to P.L. 1966, c.30 as

Enter in Column (G) the number of months that the equipment was used in New Jersey during the period covered by the return.

12.
Enter the totals of the amounts reported in Columns (H) and (I) in the space provided.
PART III
CALCULATION OF THE EFFLUENT EQUIPMENT TAX CREDIT
a) The total and allowable Effluent Equipment Tax Credit for the current year is calculated in Part III. The amount of this credit in
addition to the amount of any other tax credits taken is limited to 50% of the taxpayer’s total tax liability and cannot exceed an
amount which would reduce the total tax liability below the statutory minimum.
b) The minimum tax is assessed based on the New Jersey Gross Receipts as follows:

Less than $100,000
$500
$100,000 or more but less than $250,000
$750

$1,000
$500,000 or more but less than $1,000,000

provided however that for a taxpayer that is a member of an affiliated or controlled group which has a total payroll of $5,000,000
or more for the return period, the minimum tax shall be $2,000. Tax periods of less than 12 months are subject to the higher
minimum tax if the prorated total payroll exceeds $416,667 per month.
