ANNOTATIONS

Repeals and reenactments. — Laws 1994, ch. 112, § 2 repealed 7-9-56 NMSA 1978, as amended by Laws 1994, ch. 112, § 1, and enacted a new section, effective July 1, 2001.

To deduct receipts under Subsection A, taxpayer is required to show three items: (1) the receipts must be from transporting persons from one point to another in this state, (2) the transportation must have been in interstate commerce and (3) the transportation must have been under a single contract. McKinley Ambulance Serv. v. Bureau of Revenue, 1979-NMCA-026, 92 N.M. 599, 592 P.2d 515.

Intrastate transportation receipts not deductible. — Transportation into one state from another is the indispensable test of interstate commerce. That there is both intrastate and interstate transportation under a single contract does not authorize a deduction under Subsection A for receipts attributable to the intrastate transportation. McKinley Ambulance Serv. v. Bureau of Revenue, 1979-NMCA-026, 92 N.M. 599, 592 P.2d 515.
