Running a website from Kirtland: the New Mexico rules

Selling or advertising online brings no special license, but a few apply to most Kirtland 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
• Under ADA Title III, a business open to the public should make its website usable by people with disabilities, according to the Justice Department’s guidance. ADA.gov guidance
