Paperwork and rules for New Mexico businesses online

Having a website does not change the rules, but a few apply to most Tularosa businesses:

• New Mexico has no sales tax as such: it levies a GROSS RECEIPTS TAX on the seller. The state portion is 4.875% and counties and municipalities add their own rates, so the combined rate varies by location (roughly 5.125% to 8.6875%). An out-of-state seller reporting under the out-of-state location code pays the 4.875% statewide rate. New Mexico Taxation and Revenue Department
• A federal rule (16 CFR Part 465) makes it unlawful to write, buy or sell fake reviews and testimonials, so the reviews on a business website have to be real. 16 CFR Part 465
• Under the Americans with Disabilities Act, businesses open to the public must make their goods and services accessible to people with disabilities, and the Justice Department’s guidance says that includes their websites. ADA.gov guidance
