A major consideration for relocating in New Mexico is the state's tax system affecting retirees.
Among the most equitable in the country, the states tax structure for retirees competes favorably with other tax systems in the United States.
Property taxes are among the lowest in the U.S. New Mexico ranks 49th in the country on property tax burden. Individuals with a modified gross income of up to $16,000 can receive a tax credit rebate of up to $250.00.
Personal income tax also is low for senior citizens in comparison with other states. Taxable income is based on federal adjusted gross income with reductions for personal exemption allowances, standard deductions and excess federal itemized deductions.
Beginning at age 65, all taxpayers qualify for a state $8,000 exemption in addition to the federal exemption. The state exemption starts to level off as adjusted gross income climbs above $30,000 for married taxpayers filing jointly (at $18,000 for single taxpayers).
Other tax laws of interest to retirees include the state's estate tax gross receipts tax and succession tax. The estate tax is a 10 percent credit against the federal tax and is imposed on the transfer of the net estate in the amount equal to the federal credit. The succession tax applies only to those estates where the deceased died before 1972 and there is land involved. It does not affect new retirees. A state gross receipts tax of 5 percent is levied on all receipts of tangible property sold or leased and services sold. Local add-ons could add up to as much as 2.8725 percent more.
There is no gift tax.
