Do I need a sales tax permit in Nevada?

Every person who wants to engage in or conduct business as a seller in Nevada must either register with the Department of Taxation through the Streamlined Sales Tax registration system or apply to it for a permit for each place of business. Nevada calls the registration a Nevada seller's permit. For a seller outside Nevada, the economic nexus threshold is $100,000 in sales or 200 separate transactions in the current or immediately preceding calendar year. Nevada's own rule sets which sales count toward it and when registration must follow.

How to Get a Nevada Seller's Permit

The short answer. In Nevada, the registration a business must hold before it makes sales subject to Nevada sales tax is a Nevada seller's permit, issued by the Nevada Department of Taxation.

How to Apply

You apply to the Nevada Department of Taxation. You can apply online or on a paper application. Go to Nevada's registration page.

Nevada requires your registration to be displayed at the place of business.

What It Costs

The seller's permit costs $15 for each location. A business with no physical location in Nevada still pays one $15 fee.

Nevada requires security, such as a bond or deposit, in stated cases. The Department sets a security deposit from your estimated taxable sales and will not issue the permit until it is posted. No deposit is required if that amount comes to $1,000 or less, and the Nevada Tax Commission may waive it for a business with a satisfactory payment record.

Does It Expire?

The seller's permit does not expire. It stays in place until your sales tax account with the Department is closed.

More Than One Location

A business needs a separate seller's permit for each place of business in Nevada.

Local Sales Taxes in Nevada

Nevada's county sales taxes are administered by the Department of Taxation under contracts with the counties, so your seller's permit covers them and you report them on your state return.

Worth Knowing in Nevada

You need a Nevada state business license before you register for the permit.

This guide is general information, not legal or tax advice, and reading it does not create an attorney-client relationship. It reports what each state's law and tax agency say about the registration a business holds before it makes taxable sales, with the sources this page cites. It cannot tell you whether your own business must register: that turns on what you sell, where you sell it from, and how much you sell into the state, and fees, security rules and thresholds change between our reviews. Confirm your own position with the tax agency named on this page before you start selling.
