Nevada’s rate is five levies wearing one number

The 2% State Sales Tax is the only piece the state calls its own. The Local School Support Tax and the two City-County Relief Taxes are locally distributed but mandated in every county, which is why no address in Nevada is below 6.85%.[1]

2% State Sales Tax 2.25% Local School Support 0.35% additional School Support 0.50% Basic City-County Relief 1.75% Supplemental City-County Relief 6.85% floor in every county
Configuring Nevada from a state-rate column under-collects by 4.85 points on every sale. A table showing Nevada’s state rate as 2% is technically correct and operationally disastrous. Always configure from the county rate.[1]

Additional Local School Support Tax0.35%
Basic City-County Relief Tax0.50%

County-option taxes add up to a further 1.525% on top of the floor, producing rates from 6.85% to 8.375%.[3]

Who must register

Either trigger applies: economic nexus at $100,000 or more in gross retail sales into Nevada or more than 200 separate retail transactions in the current or preceding calendar year, or any physical presence. Registration is due by the first day of the month at least 30 days after the threshold is crossed.[4]

The base is one of the narrowest in the country: Nevada taxes tangible personal property, so general services, SaaS and every electronically delivered product fall outside it. The same product on a physical disc is fully taxable.[6]

Compliance

Sales Tax Registration and Filing

A Nevada sales tax permit costs $15 for each in-state location.

Taxability

Taxable vs. exempt

Nevada taxes tangible personal property and very little else, leaving services, hosted software and electronically delivered products entirely outside the base.[2]

Generally taxable

  • Tangible retail goodsNRS 372.105
  • Prewritten software on physical mediaNRS 360B.470
  • Prepared food for immediate consumptionNRS 372.284 exclusion
  • Alcoholic beverages & pet foodNRS 372.284 exclusion
  • Clothing, with no apparel exemptionNRS 372.105
  • Fabrication labour, however billedAlways taxable

Generally exempt

  • Food for human consumptionNRS 372.284
  • Products delivered electronicallyOutside the property base
  • Prescription medicineNRS 372.283
  • Durable medical & mobility equipmentNRS 372.282
  • Separately stated repair & installation labourMust be itemised
  • Separately stated delivery chargesMust be itemised
Worth flagging: invoice formatting decides taxability. Repair, reconditioning and installation labour and delivery charges escape tax only when separately itemised. Bill them as a lump sum and the entire charge becomes taxable.[9]

FAQ

Sales Tax FAQs

The statewide minimum is 6.85% and the highest rate is 8.375% in Clark County. Nevada’s own State Sales Tax is only 2%, but four further levies are mandated in every county, so 6.85% is the real floor everywhere.

Because 2% is the voter-approved rate under the 1955 Sales and Use Tax Act, and the Legislature cannot change it without another vote of the people. The Local School Support Tax and the two City-County Relief Taxes are nominally local but are mandated statewide.

No. Nevada permits no city, municipal or special-district sales tax. Rates are uniform countywide, giving just 17 rates statewide, so sourcing means identifying the delivery county rather than a postcode.

No. Nevada’s base reaches tangible personal property, and it does not impose a general tax on services. Software delivered on a disc is taxable; the same software downloaded or accessed remotely is not.

No. Food for human consumption is exempt. Alcoholic beverages, pet food, dietary supplements and prepared food for immediate consumption are excluded from the exemption and remain taxable.

$100,000 or more in gross retail sales into Nevada, or more than 200 separate retail transactions, in the current or preceding calendar year. Registration is due by the first day of the month beginning at least 30 days after the threshold is crossed.
