CRC
Active marketNew Jersey CRC-aware dispensary platform
Built for the independent New Jersey operator who already knows what their software costs them. CRC rules native — state 6.625% sales tax, Social Equity Excise Fee pass-through at line level, up to 2% local transfer tax, traceability handoff, and the medical/adult-use lane split CRC requires. The SEEF math most multi-state POS botch — we surface it on every receipt.

Tax stack
Excise
Social Equity Excise Fee (SEEF) on cultivator → manufacturer/retailer transfers — passes through to retail via cost-basis. Set annually by CRC (currently $2.50/oz reference, effective Jan 1, 2026).
Sales / Use
6.625% New Jersey state sales tax — applied to adult-use retail sales. Medical cannabis is sales-tax-exempt under CREAMM phaseout.
Local option
Up to 2% local cannabis transfer tax — adopted by most municipalities by ordinance. Auto-tagged per store address.
Compliance topics surfaced in-platform
- Age 21+ adult-use / 18+ medical ID verification with split lanes
- Traceability system handoff (CRC mandates state monitoring system; reconciliation export shaped to current CRC integration)
- Patient registry lookup hook (medical / Alternative Treatment Center profile)
- Daily inventory reconciliation export per N.J.A.C. 17:30 record-keeping
- Advertising + signage rule prompts surfaced inline (CRC enforces tighter advertising than most states)
What ships on day-1 for NJ
- Adult-use vs medical product lanes with separate tax stacks (medical sales-tax-exempt under phaseout)
- SEEF cost-basis pass-through tracked per cultivator vendor — line-level visibility on every receipt (the calc most multi-state POS treat as a single retail-tier flat percentage and quietly mis-report)
- Local transfer-tax derivation per store municipality (no manual table maintenance)
- Independent-operator scale onboarding — built for 1-3 store NJ chains who don’t want MSO-tier corporate IT or Dutchie-tier monthly bills
- Manager write-up assistant configurable to NJ labor + CRC rule taxonomy
We serve here — honestly
We don’t operate stores in New Jersey. We do follow CRC bulletins, the SEEF + local transfer-tax stack pain, and the advertising-restriction framework. CannAgent ships NJ support with the same compliance discipline we apply to WSLCB — and we’ll say it directly when something’s off.
