It then provides the general contractor with a New Mexico Gross Receipts Tax (NM GRT) savings or a refund on tangible personal property, in accordance with New Mexico Statute § 7-9-54. • Historically NM has not allowed governments or non profits to buy construction tangibles separately without tax. Regulation 3.2.1.11.K (the Building Reg.) changed that. 3.2.1.11.K.(2) A "building" includes the structural components integral to the building and necessary to the operation or maintenance of the building but does not include equipment, systems or components installed to perform, support or serve the activities and processes conducted in the building and which are classified for depreciation purposes as 3-year, 5-year, 7-year, 10-year or 15-year property by Section 168 of the Internal Revenue Code… • New Construction Projects Study should be initiated as soon as possible in construction process Allows for monthly savings to be applied on a go forward basis as project is being constructed. • Past Construction Statute of limitation is 3 years Must file a refund with New Mexico Tax & Revenue Department with Amended CRS-1s. • Example Project: $12 Million Building, 7% NMGRT Rate 15% Qualifying Property $126,000 NMGRT Savings 8 CONSTRUCTION-RELATED ANTI-PYRAMIDING NM GROSS RECEIPTS TAX PROVISIONS • HB-184 (2012 Legislature) enacts §9-2-52 et seq. (NMSA 1978), and TRD Regs. 3.2.210 NMCA implements provisions to avoid pyramiding of GRT. • NTTC Type-6 may be executed by a construction contractor: • 1) For the purchase of construction materials that will become ingredients or components of a construction project that is either subject to GRT upon completion; or • 2) the purchase of construction or construction-related services that are directly contracted for or billed to a construction project which are either subject to GRT upon completion or upon the sale of the real property upon which the project is constructed. • Construction –Related Services: directly contracted or billed design, architecture, drafting, surveying, engineering, environmental and structural testing, security, sanitation and services required to comply with governmental construction‐related regulations; • but excludes general business services (e.g., legal or accounting), equipment maintenance and real estate sales commissions. • If a manufacturer of equipment installs the equipment on a construction project such that the equipment becomes “an ingredient or component part“ of the project, then the manufacturer (or its contracted installer) is selling a construction service that may be deducted from gross receipts. 9 CONTACT US Duwayne Sibley 505-878-7294 Duwayne.Sibley@mossadams.com John C.

Overall I think the response is a little disingenuous. It is true that there are a lot of people who build businesses with sweat equity and cash out with capital gains treatment after some liquidity event. For a lot of those people, it is a once in a lifetime event. People who do it year in and year out are in a somewhat different economic situation even if the same tax principles are at work.” Forbes.Com; Peter J. Reilly • Why is it important to NAIOP members? “…the proposed partnership tax law change would disproportionately impact the real estate industry since real estate partnerships comprise over 46 percent of all partnerships and many use a carried interest component in structuring development ventures.” NAIOP website • Prospect of future legislation – How to plan for possible changes to the tax code Bobbi Kay Nelson Senior Manager, State and Local Tax REDW, LLC bnelson@REDW.com 505-998-3414
