Summary

This measure adds sunset dates to a number of gross receipts tax (GRT) and compensating tax (CT) deductions, including the following:

  • The GRT deduction for the receipts from selling wind generation equipment or solar generation equipment to a government for the purpose of installing a wind or solar electric generation facility will sunset on July 1, 2025.
  • The CT deduction for the value of a biomass boiler, gasifier, furnace, turbine-generator, storage facility, feedstock processing or drying equipment, feedstock trailer or interconnection transformer will sunset on July 1, 2027.
  • The CT deduction for the value of materials used for processing into biopower, biofuels or biobased products will sunset on July 1, 2027.
  • The GRT and CT deductions for receipts from selling equipment to the New Mexico Renewable Energy Transmission Authority or an agent or lessee of the Authority (RETA) that is installed as part of an electric transmission facility or an interconnected storage facility acquired by RETA pursuant to the New Mexico Renewable Energy Transmission Authority Act (RETA Act) will sunset on July 1, 2017.
  • The GRT deduction for providing services to the RETA for the planning, installation, repair, maintenance or operation of an electric transmission facility or an interconnected storage facility acquired by the authority pursuant to the RETA Act will sunset on July 1, 2027.
  • The GRT deduction for the transmission of electricity where voltage source conversion technology is employed to provide such services and from ancillary services will sunset on July 1, 2027.
  • The GRT deduction for receipts from operating a market or exchange for the sale or trading of electricity, rights to electricity and derivative products and ancillary services will sunset on July 1, 2027.
  • The GRT deduction for receipts from the sale and installation of solar energy systems will sunset on July 1, 2027.
  • The advanced energy deduction from the GRT will sunset on July 1, 2027.

 

The bill might be considered positive with respect to the deductions that do not provide a public benefit because the deduction will not be available in perpetuity. Conversely, the bill might be considered negative for those that do not provide a public benefit for the same reason. From a practical perspective, the sunset dates set forth in the bill are still 10 or more years away and thus may not provide any immediate benefit or drawback. Additionally, that means there is ample time for the sunset dates to change or be eliminated.
