Current through Register Vol. 35, No. 18, September 24, 2024
A. Receipts from developing custom software for a manufacturer of packaged software are not deductible under Section 7-9-46 NMSA 1978 because the deduction under Section 7-9-46 NMSA 1978 is available only for receipts from selling tangible personal property which is incorporated as an ingredient or component part of the manufactured product. Developing custom software is a service.
B. Example: M, a manufacturer of packaged software, contracts with S, a software development company, for the development of a new personal finances program which M plans to manufacture and sell. S is performing a service under this contract. M may not execute and S may not accept a nontaxable transaction certificate.
