PRACTITIONER NOTES FOR NEW HAMPSHIRE

Key New Hampshire Considerations

No General Sales Tax: New Hampshire does not impose a general sales tax or use tax. SaaS and digital services are not taxable at the state level. This is a significant advantage for customers located in New Hampshire. However, multi-state transactions may require collection in other jurisdictions.
No State Income Tax on Earned Income: New Hampshire does not tax earned wages or salaries. The Business Profits Tax (BPT) and Business Enterprise Tax (BET) apply to businesses. Providers with nexus in New Hampshire should account for BPT/BET obligations.
New Hampshire Privacy Act (N.H. Rev. Stat. § 507-H): Effective January 1, 2025. Applies to entities processing personal data of 35,000+ unique consumers or 10,000+ consumers with 25%+ revenue from data sales. Attorney General has exclusive enforcement authority with penalties up to $10,000 per violation. Initial cure period (through Dec. 31, 2025) requires notice before action if cure is possible.
Data Breach Notification (N.H. Rev. Stat. §§ 359-C:19 to 359-C:21): Notification required when misuse of personal information has occurred or is reasonably likely. Civil penalties up to $10,000 per violation. Private right of action available for injured individuals.
Consumer Protection Act (N.H. Rev. Stat. § 358-A): Prohibits unfair or deceptive trade practices. Remedies include actual damages or $1,000 (whichever is greater). Willful or knowing violations result in mandatory double to treble damages. Three-year statute of limitations.
Interest Rate (N.H. Rev. Stat. § 336:1): Default rate for business transactions is 10% per annum unless otherwise agreed in writing. Interest on judgments is determined by the State Treasurer based on U.S. Treasury bill rates plus 2 percentage points.
Trade Secrets (N.H. Rev. Stat. § 350-B): New Hampshire adopted the Uniform Trade Secrets Act. Three-year statute of limitations. Exemplary damages and attorney's fees available for willful and malicious misappropriation.
Non-Compete Disclosure (N.H. Rev. Stat. § 275:70): Employers must disclose non-compete agreement requirements before or at the time of making an offer of employment or engagement. This applies to employees and may apply to independent contractors providing services.
ABC Test for Independent Contractors: New Hampshire applies the ABC test for worker classification. Ensure all three prongs are satisfied to maintain independent contractor status.
Limitation of Liability: New Hampshire courts enforce limitation of liability clauses if they are clear, specific, not contrary to public policy, and there is no unfair disparity in bargaining power. Clauses limiting liability for wanton and willful conduct are not enforceable.
Venue Considerations: Manchester/Nashua (Hillsborough County) and Concord (Merrimack County) are the most common commercial venues in New Hampshire.

About This Template

A contract is a written record of what two or more parties agreed to and what happens if someone does not follow through. Clear language, defined terms, and clean signature blocks keep disputes small and enforceable. The most common mistakes in contracts come from vague promises, missing details about timing or payment, and skipping standard protective clauses like governing law and dispute resolution.

Important Notice

This template is provided for informational purposes. It is not legal advice. We recommend having an attorney review any legal document before signing, especially for high-value or complex matters.
