New Mexico Gross Receipts Tax Setup for LLP, Corporation, LLC

New Mexico imposes a Gross Receipts Tax (GRT) on your total gross receipts in place of a sales tax when engaging business in the State. Engaging in business means carrying on or causing to be carried on any activity for direct or indirect benefit. When lacking a physical presence in the state (marketplace provider or marketplace seller), engaging in business means having at least $100,000 of taxable gross receipts in the previous calendar year. If you sell through a marketplace, you and the marketplace provider (e.g., Amazon or Etsy) will have gross receipts from the sale and pay GRT on those receipts. A deduction, however, is available for marketplace sellers that sell through marketplaces when the provider pays the gross receipts tax. If you are subject to Gross Receipts Tax you must register with the New Mexico Taxation and Revenue Department for a Gross Receipts Tax account. Note: SaaS is considered a taxable service in New Mexico. The receipts for 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(6) nonprofit organizations are exempt from GRT, unless the receiving unrelated business taxable income. Nonprofits are required pay a vendor’s passed along gross receipts tax when purchasing tangible personal property, unless they provide a nontaxable transaction certificate (NTTC) to the vendor.
