N.M. Code R. § 3.2.10.11 – Tangible Personal Property on Which the Compensating Tax Has Been Previously Paid

A. Persons who have previously paid the compensating tax on tangible personal property introduced into this state are not required to pay the compensating tax again on the reintroduction into the state of the same property if the property has been under the same ownership continuously since the time it was initially introduced into the state.
B. Example: A, a Colorado construction company, is awarded the contract for the improvement of a portion of the interstate highway in northern New Mexico. One of the pieces of equipment which A brings to perform the job is a tractor that A used on another New Mexico job earlier in the year. If A can prove that the compensating tax was paid at the time of the earlier use of the tractor and that A owned the tractor continuously since that time, A does not have to pay the compensating tax again.
