A. Exempted from the gross receipts tax are the receipts of horsemen, jockeys and trainers from race purses at New Mexico horse racetracks subject to the jurisdiction of the state racing commission.
B. Exempted from the gross receipts tax are the receipts of a racetrack from the commissions and other amounts authorized by Section 60-1-10 NMSA 1978 [repealed] to be retained by a racetrack conducting horse races under the authority of a license from the state racing commission.
History: 1953 Comp., § 72-16A-12.28, enacted by Laws 1970, ch. 60, § 2; 1971, ch. 145, § 1; 1985, ch. 137, § 1; 1989, ch. 260, § 1.
Bracketed material. — Laws 2007, ch. 39, § 34 repealed 60-1-10 NMSA 1978, effective July 1, 2007.
Cross references. — For the state racing commission, see 60-1A-3 NMSA 1978.
The 1989 amendment, effective June 16, 1989, deleted "admissions and" following "receipts from" in the section heading; and in Subsection B restructured former Paragraph (2) so as to constitute the language beginning with "the commissions", deleted former Paragraph (1) which read "admissions to the racetrack on any racing day", and deleted former Paragraph (3) which read "the tax imposed by Paragraph (1) of Subsection A of Section 60-1-15 NMSA 1978".
Enactment of exemption shows no intent as to prior treatment. — Since the reporting periods for the receipts of a horse owner and a horse trainer are prior to the enactment of this section, no exemption under it is available. The fact that an exemption was subsequently enacted does not show a legislative intent that the receipts were not subject to the gross receipts tax prior to enactment of the exemption. Till v. Jones, 1972-NMCA-046, 83 N.M. 743, 497 P.2d 745, cert. denied, 83 N.M. 740, 497 P.2d 742.
