Title 3 - TAXATION
Chapter 16 - MOTOR VEHICLE FUEL TAXES
Part 4 - GASOLINE TAX - DEDUCTIONS
Section 3.16.4.12 - INDIRECT SALES TO REGISTERED INDIAN TRIBAL DISTRIBUTORS
Gasoline received and subsequently sold to a registered Indian tribal distributor may be deducted under Subsection E of Section 7-13-4 NMSA 1978 from the total amount of gasoline received in New Mexico if, for the reporting period in which the sale was made, the distributor's Indian nation, tribe or pueblo has in effect a tax on gasoline substantially equivalent to the gasoline tax. In that case the number of gallons of gasoline that may be deducted equals the product of the number of gallons sold times a fraction, the numerator of which is rate of the tribal tax, expressed in cents per gallon, and the denominator is the rate of the gasoline tax, in the same units. Proof that the tribal tax has been paid with respect to the gasoline must accompany the claim for deduction.
