- Corporation: A legal entity owned by the holders of shares of stock that have been issued, and that can own, receive, and transfer property, and carry on business in its own name.
B. On any date after June 30, 1994, if a taxpayer holds any stock of a corporation that has its commercial domicile in New Mexico on that date and which stock, at the time it was issued, would have been treated as qualified diversifying business stock pursuant to the Venture Capital Investment Act but for the facts that the stock was issued on or before June 30, 1994 and that the stock was issued by a corporation that at the time did not have its commercial domicile in New Mexico and the value of such stock on that date exceeds its adjusted basis, the taxpayer may elect to set that date as the election date and treat the stock as having been sold on that date for an amount equal to its value on that date and as having been reacquired on that date for an amount equal to such value.
