What's different about New Mexico
New Mexico levies a Gross Receipts Tax (GRT) on the seller, covering services as well as goods. It behaves like a sales tax in practice but the legal basis differs.
When do you need to register?
Economic nexus: once your sales into the state pass its threshold (commonly $100k or 200 transactions), you must register and collect that state's sales tax.
