New regulations went into effect back in January 1, of 2013 that greatly impact the construction industry.
NMHBA has prepared the documents below to assist the residential construction industry in understanding these regulations so members will be better equipped to avoid additional taxes when the NM Tax and Revenue Department (TRD) randomly audits companies. Correct use of the Non-Taxable Transaction Certificates (NTTCs) between primary contractors, sub-contractors, and suppliers is key to avoiding problems during an audit.

2013 Gross Receipts Tax Regulations for contractors, suppliers, and their accounting and tax professionals
NMHBA recommends that contractors and suppliers read the GRT regulations for themselves. The construction-specific parts of the document are relatively easy to read and understand, and contain a number of useful examples on their application.
Unfortunately, the regulation as published by the state is written in a very user-unfriendly manner, mixing and co-mingling regulations for many different business types. In order to help you actually read the construction-related regulations, NMHBA has available a copy of the new regulations, and highlighted the construction-relevant portions in yellow.
Readers can access the construction-relevant sections by simply moving from yellow-highlighted section to yellow-highlighted section.
