                A.            The deduction provided by Section 7-9-62 NMSA 1978 applies to the net receipts from the sale after any trade-in allowance for the same type of equipment has been applied.

                B.            Example:  A is engaged in the business of selling heavy equipment. A sells B a D-11 tractor for $50,000. A allows B $5,000 on a used tractor which B trades in. A must compute the tax liability as follows:

                $50,000

                    5,000   (trade-in under Section 7-9-71 NMSA 1978)

                $45,000

                $22,500

                     x .05     (rate of tax)

                $  1,125    tax due

                Therefore A owes a tax of $1,125.

3.2.220.9               PROPORTIONING PUMPS: Proportioning pumps used to distribute metered amounts of fertilizer, herbicides, pesticides, fumigants and the like to crop land by mixing those substances with irrigation water are agricultural implements as that term is used in Section 7-9-62 NMSA 1978. Accordingly, fifty percent of the receipts from selling these pumps may be deducted from gross receipts.

[12/5/69, 3/9/72, 11/20/72, 3/20/74, 7/26/76, 6/18/79, 4/7/82, 5/4/84, 4/2/86, 11/26/90, 11/15/96; 3.2.220.9 NMAC - Rn, 3 NMAC 2.62.9 & A, 6/14/01]

[3/9/72, 11/20/72, 3/20/74, 7/26/76, 6/18/79, 4/7/82, 5/4/84, 4/2/86, 11/26/90, 11/15/96; 3.2.220.11 NMAC - Rn, 3 NMAC 2.62.11 & A, 6/14/01; A, 10/31/05]

 

3.2.220.12             FUEL FOR IRRIGATION PUMPS: Receipts derived from the sale of butane, propane, natural gas, electricity, or other fuel which is used in the operation of irrigation pumps are not receipts from the sale of agricultural implements and, therefore, are not subject to the 50% deduction from gross receipts provided by Section 7-9-62 NMAC 1978.

[3/9/72, 11/20/72, 3/20/74, 7/26/76, 6/18/79, 4/7/82, 5/4/84, 4/2/86, 11/26/90, 11/15/96; 3.2.220.12 NMAC - Rn, 3 NMAC 2.62.12 & A, 6/14/01]

3.2.220.14             MOTORIZED GOLF CARTS: Fifty percent of the receipts from selling motorized golf carts may be deducted from gross receipts because motorized golf carts are vehicles that are not required to be registered under the Motor Vehicle Code, Chapter 66.

[3/9/72, 11/20/72, 3/20/74, 7/26/76, 6/18/79, 4/7/82, 5/4/84, 4/2/86, 11/26/90, 11/15/96; 3.2.220.14 NMAC - Rn, 3 NMAC 2.62.14 & A, 6/14/01]

 

3.2.220.15             BALING WIRE: Baling wire is not an agricultural implement within the meaning of Section 7-9-62 NMSA 1978, and therefore, the seller of baling wire to a farmer may not take the fifty percent deduction allowed under Section 7-9-62 NMSA 1978.

[3/9/72, 11/20/72, 3/20/74, 7/26/76, 6/18/79, 4/7/82, 5/4/84, 4/2/86, 11/26/90, 11/15/96; 3.2.220.15 NMAC - Rn, 3 NMAC 2.62.15 & A, 6/14/01]

A “motor vehicle” as defined in the Motor Vehicle Code is a vehicle which is self-propelled. Mining equipment that receives its power from a trailing cable which conveys electricity to it from an outside source is not self-propelled.

3.2.220.17             WRITTEN STATEMENT OF FARMING OR RANCHING:

                A.            The written statement required by Section 7-9-62 NMSA 1978 for receipts from the sale of agricultural implements on or after July 1, 1998 shall be in the form set out in Subsection B of Section 3.2.216.8 NMAC and must be signed personally by the purchaser or the purchaser’s agent. The written statement must be accepted in good faith by the seller in order for the seller to take the deduction authorized by Section 7-9-62 NMSA 1978 with respect to transactions occurring on or after July 1, 1998. The good faith acceptance requirement applies to each transaction intended to be covered by the written statement.

                B.            Receipts from the sale of agricultural implements on or after July 1, 1998 may not be deducted under Section 7-9-62 NMSA 1978 unless the sale is made to a person who makes a written statement in compliance with Section 7-9-62 NMSA 1978.

                C.            For the purposes of Section 7-9-62 NMSA 1978, it is sufficient if the seller receives one written statement from each purchaser, provided the seller maintains that statement on file.

                D.            When a seller accepts in good faith a person’s written statement that the person is regularly engaged in the business of farming or ranching, the written statement shall be conclusive evidence that the receipts from the transaction with the person having made the statement are deductible from the seller’s gross receipts under Section 7-9-62 NMSA 1978.
