The receipts from selling meals on a contract basis to a governmental agency are receipts from selling tangible personal property. Such receipts may be deducted from gross receipts. Receipts of a private supplier from furnishing meals to persons visiting a governmental agency may not be deducted from gross receipts pursuant to Section 7-9-54 NMSA 1978 unless the meal is sold to that governmental agency.
