  • Obligation: An order placed, contract awarded, service received, or similar transaction during a given period that will require payments during the same or a future period.
  • person: includes corporations, companies, associations, societies, firms, partnerships and joint stock companies as well as individuals, unless restricted by the context to an individual as distinguished from a corporate entity or specifically restricted to one or some of the above enumerated synonyms and, when used to designate the owner of property which may be the subject of an offense, includes this State, the United States, any other State of the United States as defined infra and any foreign country or government lawfully owning or possessing property within this State. See New Jersey Statutes 1:1-2
  • State: extends to and includes any State, territory or possession of the United States, the District of Columbia and the Canal Zone. See New Jersey Statutes 1:1-2
  • Trustee: A person or institution holding and administering property in trust.
The director shall design a form of report and forms for such additional statements or schedules as he may require to be filed therewith. Such form shall contain a provision in which the foreign corporation may disclaim liability for the corporation business tax and the corporation income tax, and any obligation to obtain a certificate of authority to do business in this State and shall provide for the setting forth of such additional facts as the director may deem necessary for the proper enforcement of this act. He shall cause a supply thereof to be printed and shall furnish appropriate blank forms to each corporation upon application or otherwise as he may deem necessary. Failure to receive a form shall not relieve any corporation from the obligation to file a report under the provisions of this act. Each such report shall have annexed thereto a certification by the president, vice president, comptroller, secretary, treasurer, assistant treasurer, accounting officer of the corporation or any other officer of the corporation duly authorized so to act to the effect that the statements contained therein are true. The fact that an individual’s name is signed on a certification of the report shall be prima facie evidence that such individual is authorized to sign and certify the report on behalf of the corporation. In the case of a corporation in liquidation or in the hands of a receiver or trustee, certification shall be made by the person responsible for the conduct of the affairs of such corporation.
