The legal basics for Magdalena businesses online
Selling or advertising online does not change the rules, but a few apply to many Magdalena 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
