N.M. Admin. Code § 3.2.105.10
Current through Register Vol. 35, No. 21, November 5, 2024
A salesperson who sells for a company on a commission basis is not an employee of the company where the company exercises no direct control over the details of performance of the salesperson's duties beyond general statements about the scope and nature of the salesperson's obligations under the contract between the salesperson and the company. In addition, where commissions paid to a salesperson are not subject to withholding taxes or social security taxes, the salesperson is not considered an employee of the company. Therefore, receipts from commissions paid to such salesperson for selling property in New Mexico are subject to the gross receipts tax.
