More money to help: A pandemic relief bill that would provide $600 tax rebates to New Mexicans who earn less than $15 an hour and a four-month gross receipts tax holiday to restaurants, bars and other food and beverage establishments sailed through the House of Representatives without discussion or debate Wednesday.
Senate Bill 1, which passed the Senate unanimously, will soon be heading to the desk of Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, who has made economic recovery from the novel coronavirus pandemic one of her top legislative priorities.
Under the bill, food and beverage establishments squeezed by business restrictions under the state’s public health orders would receive a one-time GRT tax break for four months, from March to June. The bill also would provide a one-time tax rebate to New Mexicans who earn less than $31,200 annually.
