New Jersey is considering a temporary sales tax hike in the Meadowlands area to capitalize on the influx of visitors expected during the 2026 FIFA World Cup. As part of a proposal, the state would impose a special sales tax rate in the region to generate additional revenue from the international soccer tournament. If implemented, the tax would only apply for the duration of the World Cup, which is set to take place in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The plan aims to offset the costs associated with hosting the event, including infrastructure upgrades and security measures, and could potentially bring in millions of dollars in revenue for the state.
