2. Introduction
GenTax is a commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) product that is the tax system of record for New Mexico.
New Mexico Taxation and Revenue Department  (TRD) is currently engaged in an upgrade of GenTax.

This project is expected to show an ROI on the original appropriation exceeding 3:1 over the next 5 years.
Since project inception on 07/01/12, $6.83M in additional revenue has been captured due to the enhanced capabilities in V9 GenTax.

3. Business Credit Manager (BCM)
TRD’s objectives for FY14 are to build upon the expanded Tax collection and management capabilities of the recently implemented upgrade to v9 of the GenTax tax software application.
The purpose of the Business Credit module is to electronically process business tax credits, within GenTax, showing how funds are disbursed to the various tax credits for each tax program, by tax return, and tax type, including:
Provide TRD with a business credit module which will track and control the validation and offset of business credits in the system.
Improve reporting efficiency and accuracy pertaining to all revenue agency aspects by implementing a Business Credits Module in GenTax v9.
