- Sales tax administered by
- Nevada Department of Taxation
- Statewide base rate
- 6.85% — local rates stack on top and are generally sourced to the delivery address.
- Economic nexus (remote sellers)
- $100,000 in sales or 200 transactions
- Filing cadence
- Monthly or quarterly by liability
- Employer / payroll registration

- What trips people up
- No state income tax, but the Commerce Tax applies to businesses above a gross revenue threshold and is easy to overlook.
- Other business tax
- Commerce Tax — levied on Nevada gross revenue above a substantial annual threshold, payable by the business. This is a separate filing from sales tax, with its own registration and its own calendar.
Nevada's Commerce Tax
the rate is set by NAICS business category, so your classification determines what you pay. Businesses under the threshold are generally excused, but the classification still has to be right.
Because it is calculated on revenue rather than on profit, a business here can owe it in a year it lost money. The bookkeeping consequence is specific: the return is annual and driven by a revenue figure for the Nevada activity specifically, which means the books need to isolate Nevada revenue rather than report one national total. That is a chart-of-accounts decision rather than a year-end adjustment, which is why we set it up during onboarding rather than discovering it at filing time.
How we handle Nevada in your books
We track your Nevada taxable sales against the $100,000 in sales or 200 transactions threshold, keep the liability account reconciled to what you actually collected, and prepare and file the return on your assigned cadence. When collected tax does not tie to the return, that gap is a real liability — we find it during the monthly close rather than at year-end.
Either way, the goal is the same — clean, reconciled books your CPA can work from. See how sales tax filing support works or browse everything for Nevada.
White Glove Accounting is a bookkeeping firm — not a licensed CPA firm, public accountancy firm, or registered tax preparer. We keep your books clean so your CPA or tax preparer can do their job. Filing deadlines, penalties, nexus determinations, and the acceptance of any return or record are determined solely by the applicable taxing authorities and by your own licensed professionals. Requirements change and vary by jurisdiction; outcomes, timelines, and savings are not guaranteed and will differ by client.
