Your neighbors in Mine Hill
Roxbury Township borders Mine Hill and takes in Succasunna, Ledgewood, Kenvil, Landing and Port Morris. Route 10 begins at Route 46 in Ledgewood, and the two highways carry much of western Morris County's retail. To the north, Landing sits at the south end of Lake Hopatcong, the state's largest freshwater lake, where Hopatcong State Park still holds remnants of the Morris Canal. Roxbury clients bring us retail, service-business and rental questions, alongside family returns.
Retail and service businesses
- Sales tax. New Jersey sales tax is 6.625%, filed quarterly or monthly depending on volume. If you also sell online, other states may expect you to collect once your sales there pass their thresholds. See sales tax nexus.
- Inventory. Tracking cost of goods sold correctly in QuickBooks, so margins and taxable income are real numbers. See QuickBooks setup and training.
- Payroll. Paychecks, NJ-927 quarterly filings and year-end W-2s for part-time and seasonal staff.
- Entity and retirement planning. An S corporation, a solo 401(k) or a SEP-IRA can lower the tax on steady profits.
Homes and rentals near the lake
- Rental income. Long-term and seasonal rentals are reported on Schedule E, with depreciation and expenses split between personal and rental use.
- Short-term stays. Platform bookings carry New Jersey sales tax and occupancy fees, which the platform generally collects.
- Selling a rental. A 1031 exchange can defer the gain if you buy another investment property.
