No New Mexico city charges a local income tax. New Mexico has significant oil and gas revenue that helps fund state services, contributing to a moderate overall tax burden despite the income tax. Compared to neighboring Texas (no income tax) and Arizona (2.5% flat), New Mexico's income tax is higher. Colorado (4.4% flat) is slightly lower for most earners. New Mexico is generally considered to have a moderate overall tax environment for the Southwest, and its income tax rates are competitive with many eastern states.
