N.M. Admin. Code § 3.1.5.10

Current through Register Vol. 35, No. 24, December 23, 2024
Section 3.1.5.10 - CONSISTENCY IN METHOD OF ACCOUNTING

The method of accounting used by taxpayers for state tax computation or for accumulating information required by state tax statutes shall be consistent for the same business. There is no requirement that the method of accounting for one type of state tax be the same method of accounting for another type of state tax. For example, a taxpayer may account for and report the taxpayer's gross receipts tax on the cash basis, while accounting for and reporting the taxpayer's income tax on an accrual basis. But a taxpayer may not account for and report January's gross receipts on the cash accounting method, and then account for and report February's gross receipts on the accrual accounting method without first securing the consent of the secretary or secretary's delegate.
