3.2.215.10 OTHER EVIDENCE:
A. As used in Section 7-9-57 NMSA 1978, “other evidence acceptable to the secretary” includes invoices, contracts, photostatic copies of checks and letters which show that the sale is to an out-of-state buyer and which indicate that the initial use of the product of the service did not occur in New Mexico.
B. Example 1: E drafts a manuscript about deer hunting in New Mexico and sends the manuscript to a sports magazine publisher in New York. The publisher accepts by letter the story for publication and encloses a check. E may deduct this payment from gross receipts if E preserves the letter or a photostatic copy of the check.
C. Example 2:
(1) W is a writer who performs some writing services in New Mexico. W's manuscripts and all rights thereto are sold by W's literary agent in New York City, exclusively to publishers, motion picture companies and other media located outside New Mexico. None of the rights to W's manuscripts or other literary works are sold to publishers, editors or media within the state of New Mexico. Funds are remitted to the literary agent in New York by the out-of-state purchaser of the rights to W's works. The agent then pays W. W's receipts may be deducted from gross receipts if:
(a) The buyers of W's works deliver nontaxable transaction certificates to W; or
(b) W's agent certifies in writing that all of W's work is published or otherwise initially used outside New Mexico; or
(c) W's agent accounts to W for each sale on a document or documents clearly indicating that the sales are to out-of-state buyers and that the initial use of the product of the service did not occur in New Mexico and W preserves the agent's detailed accounting.
(2) If the buyers rewrite, publish or otherwise initially use W's writing services inside New Mexico, the compensating tax imposed by Subsection B of Section 7-9-7 NMSA 1978 is due from the buyer on the value of the services at the time they were rendered.
