SUMMARY

 

Synopsis of SCONC Amendment

 

The Senate Conservation Committee adds language to include twine used to contain feed in the deduction from gross receipts tax.

 
Synopsis of Original Bill.

 

This bill amends Section 7-9-58 NMSA 1978 to extend the gross receipts tax deduction for sales of feed to farmers and ranchers to include the baling wire used to contain the feed. 

 

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS

 

Minimal

 


TECHNICAL ISSUES

 

TRD makes the following comments:

 

Livestock feed (hay or alfalfa) can be baled with twine or wire.  The Department recommends adding  “or twine” after “wire” on page 1, line 19. 

 

The changes proposed in this bill can effectively be accomplished through Department regulation. 

 

Currently, Section 7-9-47 NMSA 1978 allows a deduction for sales of baling wire to farmers who bale hay for resale.  This is considered a valid chain-of-commerce deduction since the baling wire is resold by the farmer in combination with other tangible personal property.
