The legal basics for Maxwell businesses online

Having a website brings no special license, but a few apply to most Maxwell businesses:

• Selling to customers in other states? Each state sets its own threshold for remote sellers; New Mexico’s is At least $100,000 of taxable gross receipts in New Mexico in the previous calendar year (applies to sellers with no physical presence, including marketplace providers and marketplace sellers).

• 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
