Investment Tax Credit
Manufacturers may take a credit against gross receipts, compensating or withholding taxes equal to 5.125% of the value of qualified equipment when the following employment conditions are met: 1) For every $500,000 of equipment, 1 employee must be added up to $30 million; and 2) For amounts exceeding $30 million, 1 employee must be added for each $1 million of equipment.

Industrial Revenue Bonds (IRBs)
New Mexico communities can issue IRBs to exempt companies from property taxes on land, buildings, and equipment. An IRB is an issuance of bonds by the City for a City-owned Qualifying Project and then a loan of the proceeds from the bond purchasers to a company, non-profit corporation, private higher educational institution or hospital ("Qualifying Entity" or QIE) where the bond proceeds and bond repayments flow through a local governmental "issuer" such as the City. Typically, the Qualifying Entity enters into a lease agreement with the City/Issuer to lease the facility from the City/Issuer and, at the end of the lease term, purchase the facility from the City/Issuer for a nominal amount. Companies creating new business facilities can receive a property tax exemption for up to 20 years.
Community Development Incentive Act
Municipalities and counties may exempt a new business facility from property tax for up to 20 years. This incentive is designed to give communities a less expensive alternative to IRBs (Industrial Revenue Bonds), particularly when the project is too small to warrant the expense associated with IRBs.
Preservation of Cultural Property Tax Credit
http://www.nmhistoricpreservation.org/programs/tax-credits.html
The credit for preservation of cultural property is 50% of the approved eligible costs of a project for the restoration, rehabilitation or preservation of cultural properties listed on the official New Mexico Register of Cultural Properties, not to exceed $25,000. Any portion of the credit that remains unused at the end of the taxpayer's reporting period may be carried forward for four consecutive years. A taxpayer who files a New Mexico personal income tax return and who is not a dependent of another individual and who is the owner of the cultural property may claim the credit. A member/owner of a partnership, LLC, S corporation, joint venture or similar business association that has qualified for the preservation of cultural properties credit may claim the credit in proportion to the taxpayer's interest in the business association. To apply, the applicant must contact the Historic Preservation Division for information on obtaining certification for the project, and the State Coordination of New Mexico Arts and Cultural Districts, for more information regarding property located in an arts and cultural district certified by the state or a municipality pursuant to the Arts and Cultural District Act.

Federal Historic Preservation Tax Credit
https://www.nps.gov/tps/tax-incentives.htm
The Federal Historic Preservation Tax Incentives program encourages private sector investment in the rehabilitation and re-use of historic buildings. The National Park Service and the Internal Revenue Service administer the program in partnership with State Historic Preservation Offices. A 20% income tax credit is available for the rehabilitation of historic, income-producing buildings that are determined by the Secretary of the Interior, through the National Park Service (NPS), to be “certified historic structures.” The State Historic Preservation Offices and the National Park Service review the rehabilitation work to ensure that it complies with the Secretary’s Standards for Rehabilitation. The Internal Revenue Service defines qualified rehabilitation expenses on which the credit may be taken. Owner-occupied residential properties do not qualify for the federal rehabilitation tax credit.

Double Weight Sales Factor
http://www.tax.newmexico.gov/uploads/files/Reports/2013%20Tax%20Expenditure%20Report%20TRD%202013-11-12%20final.pdf (see page 32 under “Manufacturing Income Apportionment”)
A taxpayer whose principal business activity is manufacturing may elect to have business income apportioned to New Mexico by multiplying the income by a “double-weighted sales” fraction, the numerator of which is the property factor plus the payroll factor plus twice the sales factor, and the denominator of which is four. The tax expenditure provides an optional, alternative method of income apportionment for manufacturers when calculating New Mexico corporate income tax liability. All other taxpayers are required to use a three-factor apportionment formula in which payroll, property, and sales are equally weighted. By increasing the weight of the sales factor, this policy also has the effect of promoting an export-based manufacturing industry because exported sales reduce the share of income apportioned to this state.

Types of items that qualify are clothing, accessories, sporting goods, tools, books, art, cosmetics, musical instruments, cookware, bedding, furniture, toys, games, and electronics. In order for a business to qualify for the deduction, it must maintain its primary place of business in New Mexico, and employ no more than 10 employees at any point during the year.

Service for Resale Tax Credit
Taxpayers who owe gross receipts tax or governmental gross receipts tax may claim a credit against gross receipts tax for receipts from selling services for resale, provided the resale is in the ordinary course of business, the resale is not subject to either gross receipts tax or governmental gross receipts tax, and the buyer delivers to the seller appropriate documentation from the Taxation and Revenue Department (TRD) that the resale meets the criteria for “resale in the ordinary course of business.” The credit is equal to 10% of eligible receipts multiplied by 3.775% (.03775) for businesses within city limits, or 5% (.05) for businesses located in an unincorporated area of a County. Services sold to government entities or to persons acting as contractors operating national laboratories in New Mexico are not eligible. The service must be resold and may not be consumed in the ordinary course of business.
