Decided December 4, 1972

409 U.S. 91

Syllabus

Proceeds from transactions whereby petitioner creates and designs reproducible instructional materials in New Mexico for delivery under contract to out-of-state clients, which the state court found involved sales of tangible personal property and not services performed in New Mexico, may not be subjected to New Mexico's gross receipts tax, the imposition of which upon such proceeds constitutes an impermissible burden on interstate commerce.
