New Mexico Department Of Workforce Solutions Issues Revised 2021 Employer Tax Rates
NMDWS News:
ALBUQUERQUE – A tax rate review and recalculation was conducted for all New Mexico employers by the New Mexico Department of Workforce Solutions (NMDWS) under the provisions of the Small Business Recovery Act of 2020.
Revised notices were sent out last week informing employers if their rate increased, decreased, or was unchanged from the notices sent in November 2020.
NMDWS recalculated the tax rate for over 50,000 contributory employers to omit benefit charges, employer wages, and contributions for the period of March 1, 2020 through June 30, 2020.
As a result of the recalculation, roughly 9,000 employers had their tax rate for 2021 decrease when compared to the rate initially issued in November 2020. Roughly 2,000 employers received a tax rate increase and the remaining employers’ rates remained unchanged.

That’s exactly what they did.
After a devastating year, New Mexicans desperately needed our state government to deliver relief. During the 2021 legislative session the governor worked with legislators to pass a long list of important bills, all of which will help us recover from the coronavirus pandemic.

The Federation of Small Businesses wants the next Scottish Government to pilot bread funds, a collective insurance scheme where the self-employed help each other in hard times A HOLLAND-derived scheme where the self-employed support each other financially through ill health, injury or loss of earnings, should be piloted by the next Scottish Government to address shortcomings in support. The Federation of Small Businesses (FSA) in Scotland has suggested a collective insurance scheme could help restore confidence in a sector that had been “knocked for six” by the pandemic. A major study, commissioned by the FSA and involving 700 small business owners found that three fifths (420) felt the Covid crisis had made self-employment less attractive as a career option because of the financial risks and lack of security.
