Section 3.1.3.10 - RECIPROCAL AGREEMENT - UNITED STATES SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY'S AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE
Current through Register Vol. 35, No. 6, March 26, 2024
A. The secretary shall maintain a permanent record of the reciprocal agreement between the department and the representative of the secretary of the treasury for exchange of tax information. The proper representative of the secretary of the treasury shall be identified in the reciprocal agreement with the department. Identification of proper representatives may be made by job title or job description.
B. Example: A representative of the United States treasury department's alcohol, tobacco and firearms bureau (ATFB) requests from a department employee information contained in the return of a taxpayer. The representative explains that the organization is a branch of the treasury department, and the tax information requested will aid the state of New Mexico in collecting more tobacco taxes. Since the ATFB of the treasury department is not the authorized representative of the secretary of the treasury under a reciprocal agreement, it is unlawful for any employee of the department to fulfill the ATFB representative's request.
