B. Example: The receipts from the sale of a logging truck used off the highway except for the purpose of crossing the highway from one property to another, are subject to gross receipts tax because there is no tax imposed upon the issuance of a certificate of title for that vehicle under the Motor Vehicle Excise Tax Act since it is exempted from registration in this state under Section 66-3-l NMSA 1978.
