When damage occurs to personal effects during transit by an interstate carrier and the carrier is required to hire a repair facility to restore the damaged articles, receipts of the repair facility are not deductible pursuant to Section 7-9-56 NMSA 1978. Such receipts are not from transporting property in interstate commerce or performing accessorial services under a single contract. The interstate carrier cannot issue a nontaxable transaction certificate pursuant to Section 7-9-48 NMSA 1978 since it is not reselling but is consuming the repair service.
