Hauling components or materials for a person engaged in the manufacturing business is not a manufacturing service within the meaning of Section 7-9-75 NMSA 1978. The hauler is neither combining nor processing these items; therefore, the manufacturer may not issue to the hauler a nontaxable transaction certificate and the hauler may not deduct the receipts pursuant to Section 7-9-75 NMSA 1978. The hauler's receipts are fully subject to the gross receipts tax.
