The New Jersey Legislature is considering a bipartisan bill (S355/A3710) that establishes a restricted beer, wine and cider license that would allow restaurants, for a small annual fee, to sell certain alcoholic beverages to their patrons. In an effort to counteract the diminution in value of already-owned liquor licenses, the proposed bill provides tax credit under corporate business tax and gross income tax for loss in value to certain alcoholic beverage licenses.
