New Mexico Court Rules Tax Applies to Services to Pueblo
The New Mexico Court of Appeals upholds a Santa Fe ruling that federal law barring state taxation on Indian reservations covers services as well as goods. The decision affirms a nearly $54,000 refund to Raytheon Services Industry for services provided to Laguna Pueblo from 1986 to 1988, and cites Indian trader statutes pre-empting state taxes on tribal trade. Judge Rudy Apodaca wrote the majority opinion, with Harris Hartz concurring and Bruce Black dissenting. The Taxation and Revenue Department argued the federal statutes cover only goods trade.
