Part 400 - TAX ADMINISTRATION
Section 11.3.400.406 - DUE DATE FOR PAYMENT OF CONTRIBUTIONS; NOTICE OF DELINQUENCY; INTEREST AND PENALTIES

A. All contributions shall become due on and shall be paid on or before the last day of the month immediately following the close of the calendar quarter for which they are payable, and any employer failing to pay any contribution when due shall be delinquent. The department shall serve a notice of delinquency to the employer at the employer's last known address on file with the department. The failure of the department to locate and serve a notice of delinquency, or the failure of the employer to receive any notice of delinquency, shall not affect the employer's liability for any contribution, interest or penalty. Interest and penalties shall be assessed from and after the due date in accordance with the Unemployment Compensation Law of New Mexico.

B. Whenever the department finds that the collection of contributions from any particular employer may be jeopardized by delaying the collection thereof until the date otherwise prescribed, the department may advance the due date of such employer's contributions to such date, succeeding the period with respect to which they have accrued, as the department deems advisable, or may in the department's discretion, upon such finding prescribe payment of contributions from such employer monthly rather than quarterly. Monthly contributions shall become due on and shall be paid on or before the 15th day of the month next following the close of the month for which they are payable. Contributions not paid on or before the due date shall become delinquent and interest and penalties shall be assessed from and after the due date.

C. The department may, at its discretion, furnish an employer written permission to pay delinquent contributions in installments. Any arrangement for payment in installments must make provision for the payment of interest on the past due delinquent contribution balances from the due date through the ending date on which such installment is paid. In the event that such employer fails to pay an installment in full when it becomes due, the entire unpaid balance of contributions, interest and penalty will become due. No written permission for the payment of contributions shall preclude collection action pursuant to Section 51-1-36 NMSA 1978 against such employer.
