Understanding Gross Receipts Tax (GRT) is crucial for businesses operating in New Mexico. The New Mexico Taxation and Revenue Department (TRD) provides an invaluable online resource: a Gross Receipts Location Code and Tax Rate Map. This guide will walk you through how to effectively use this map to find the necessary information for your business.
Mastering Map Navigation
The New Mexico tax map is designed for intuitive navigation. Whether you are on a computer, tablet, or smartphone, you can easily move around and zoom to find your area of interest.
Zooming In and Out
To get a closer look or see a broader view, the map offers simple zoom controls:
On a Computer:
- Utilize the plus (+) button to zoom in and the minus (-) button to zoom out, located in the upper left corner of the map interface.
- Alternatively, use the scroll wheel on your mouse for a more fluid zoom experience.
On a Phone, Tablet, or Portable Device:
- Similar to computers, you can use the plus (+) and minus (-) buttons in the upper left corner.
- For touch-screen devices, the familiar “pinch” gesture allows you to zoom in and out effortlessly.
Panning Across the Map
Moving across the map to different areas is just as straightforward:
On a Computer:
- Click and hold your mouse button anywhere on the map, then drag in the direction you want to pan (east, west, north, or south).
On a Phone, Tablet, or Portable Device:
- Tap and hold your finger on the screen, then drag to pan in your desired direction.
Identifying Location Codes and GRT Rates
Once you have navigated to your area of interest on the Map New Mexico, finding the Location Code and GRT rate is simple:
On both Computer and Mobile Devices:
- Single click (on a computer) or single tap (on a phone or tablet) within the specific location on the map. This action will open a data view window, displaying the relevant Location Code and Gross Receipts Tax rate for that area.
Utilizing the Address Search Feature
Need to quickly find a specific location? The address search function is there to assist:
Address Search on the Map:
- Locate the Search box in the upper right corner of the map window.
- Click or tap inside the search box and begin typing the address you are interested in. As you type, valid address matches will appear below the search box.
- Select the address from the suggestions that matches your location, or click/tap the “magnifying glass” search button to initiate the search.
Important Caution Regarding Address Search: It’s important to note that the address locator is a tool to help you navigate to a general area and is not an official TRD data service. Always confirm the GRT Location Code and tax rate by clicking directly on the map at your specific location of interest.
Disclaimer: Remember to review the TRD GIS Data Disclaimer for complete details and terms of use, available at https://www.tax.newmexico.gov/all-nm-taxes/businesses/data-download/. Always consult local authorities to confirm GRT location codes and tax rates where necessary.
By following these instructions, you can effectively use the New Mexico tax map to find the precise GRT Location Codes and tax rates you need for your business operations in New Mexico.
