New Mexico Tax Research Institute

The New Mexico Tax Research Institute is a nonprofit, nonpartisan, member-supported organization dedicated to providing fact based principled research and analysis to the tax policy debate in New Mexico.

We do not advocate any agenda for or against taxation. We seek only to study, inform and educate the public and tax policy makers concerning the pressing issues of taxation facing our state. We believe that well-versed policymakers and an active, informed citizenry are essential for effective representative government.

The New Mexico Tax Research Institute is organized and operates as a corporation pursuant to § 501(c)3 of the Internal Revenue Code and welcomes individuals, businesses and organizations as members.
