Tax-Free Weekend 2023

Enjoy New Mexico's Back to School Tax-Free Holiday in Albuquerque 

The annual New Mexico Gross Receipts Tax Holiday  is coming up soon, August 4-6, 2023. If you have school-age children, you know the value this weekend holds!

For one weekend each August, the state suspends collection of gross receipts tax on sales of qualifying items so you can buy the items tax free. Because many merchants also absorb the tax on a number of non-qualifying items, you are the beneficiary all around. During this time the law provides a deduction from gross receipts for retail sales of qualifying tangible personal property; in effect allowing the retailer to sell the items “tax free.” 

Albuquerque is the perfect destination in New Mexico to take full advantage of this great deal. With hundreds of retailers conveniently located in multiple shopping centers throughout the city, Albuquerque is sure to have what you need for the back to school season.
