Built to Reduce Costs for Export-Focused Manufacturers

New Mexico provides a single-sales-factor apportionment formula for manufacturers, which reduces tax exposure tied to payroll and property and better aligns with export-oriented operations. New Mexico EDD

The state confirms no inventory tax, no GRT on manufacturing consumables (including electricity and natural gas), no tax on property-in-transit, and a single-sales-factor apportionment methodology for manufacturers. New Mexico EDD

The manufacturing consumables deduction (GRT) is codified and administered via NTTCs; utilities can deduct 100% of qualified receipts billed to manufacturers under FYI-275. Justia Law+1
