- Salado Isolation Mining Contractors

As the Management and Operating (M&O) Contractor, SIMCO is allowed to issue Type 5 (Services), Type 6 (Construction) and Type 15 (materials/product) Non-Taxable Transaction Certificates (NTTCs) to New Mexico and out-of-state subcontractors/suppliers. The NTTC entitles the seller to deduct those receipts when determining taxable gross receipts. In practice, this means SIMCO can purchase goods and services free of the gross receipts tax that is usually passed on to the buyer via an invoice, as the New Mexico Gross Receipts Tax (NMGRT) is considered an unallowable cost to the Government. SIMCO will pay NMGRT on the costs incurred per the contract as the M&O Contractor to the U.S. Department of Energy for the WIPP Project.
This exemption applies only to the Subcontractor, not to any lower tier subcontractors or suppliers. For work performed in New Mexico, and New Mexico Suppliers/subcontractors are required to register with State of New Mexico and provide a Combined Reporting System (CRS) identification number obtained from the New Mexico Taxation and Revenue Department. The subcontractor shall be responsible for following all applicable federal, state, and local tax laws, including payment of all federal, state, and local taxes, as applicable. The subcontractor shall be responsible for the flow down of all applicable federal, state, and local tax requirements to any lower tier suppliers it uses in the performance of this subcontract. Tax obligations of lower tier suppliers shall be the responsibility of the subcontractor and/or the lower tier supplier.
SIMCO may occasionally drop-ship items to an out-of-state destination for employees working at Generator sites or for employees working remotely. SIMCO will provide the New Mexico NTTC necessary for exemption to the vendor. Sales and use tax exemption rules vary from state to state, therefore the vendor may not accept the New Mexico NTTC, but will require an exemption certificate applicable to the ship to state. If SIMCO is not registered for sales and use tax purposes in the ship to state or does not have an exemption in line with the particular state’s rules, SIMCO may be required to pay the sales or use tax as necessary.
