New Jersey's New Tax Lead Shares Vision for Year Ahead

Marita Sciarrotta, the new acting director of New Jersey's Division of Taxation, will have a busy year ahead as she settles into the role. Sciarrotta, who spent 40 years in the tax division before taking over as acting director in September, said in an interview that she wants to modernize the state's property tax relief programs—an endeavor that likely will require legislation to make needed changes. She also plans to increase hiring as state revenue agencies across the nation grapple with a growing number of vacancies that can impede their abilities to provide financial oversight. On this episode of Talking Tax, reporter Danielle Muoio Dunn spoke with Sciarrotta about her plans as the division takes on lawmakers’ overhaul of New Jersey’s corporate tax system and the creation of StayNJ, a property tax relief program for seniors. Sciarrotta also discussed her long tenure in the division and the sexism she's faced over the years. "There are some people that kind of tend to be siloed off and one of the things I found to be most advantageous in my career is that I get like a morbid curiosity and I will ask about anything to anyone and stick my nose in a lot of different places," Sciarrotta said.
