New Mexico rules to know before your website goes live

Having a website brings no special license, but a few apply to many Folsom businesses:

• 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
• 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

This is general information, not legal advice. Your county, your village hall or an attorney can confirm what applies to you.
