Tax Laws in Nevada.
Nevada is among the most tax-friendly states. Nevada has no state income tax (individual or corporate), no estate tax, and no inheritance tax. Instead, Nevada relies on sales tax (6.85% state rate, up to 8.375% combined), gaming taxes (a substantial revenue source), modified business (payroll) tax, and property taxes. The Commerce Tax (NRS 363C) applies to businesses with Nevada gross revenue exceeding $4 million at rates varying by industry. Property taxes are administered locally with 3%-8% annual cap on assessed-value increases.
