If you are keen to buy precious metals, it certainly pays to do your research. Buying bullion comes with its own set of regulations and tax laws when compared with typical purchases. Furthermore, these regulations can change drastically depending on which state you choose to do business in. That said, here is all you need to know about purchasing precious metals in New Mexico.
New Mexico has a statewide gross receipts tax. While this is not technically a sales tax, it is often treated similarly. This tax rate sits around 5.125% across the state. However, local taxes can also apply to bullion purchases, depending on where you are. Combined, these tax rates can reach as high as 8.8675%.
