If your Shopify business sells $100,000 into New Mexico in a calendar year, you have economic nexus and must register, collect, and remit New Mexico sales tax.

Shopify sales tax in New Mexico

New Mexico applies a 4.88% state rate plus an average local add-on of 2.79% to most physical goods shipped from a Shopify store. Shopify's built-in tax engine can source destination rates for NM once you enable the state at Settings → Taxes and duties → United States. For full local-rate coverage (counties, special districts, home-rule jurisdictions common in states like New Mexico), enable Shopify Tax or swap in TaxJar / Stripe Tax via the Shopify app store.

Shopify does not register with the New Mexico Department of Revenue on your behalf and does not file returns. Those duties still fall to you once you cross $100,000 inNM-destined sales.
