|
| Sales tax |
| The state sales tax in Nevada is
6.5 percent. |
| Counties can assess option
taxes as well, making the combined state/county sales taxes
rate in some areas as high as 7.75 percent. |
|
| Personal and real property taxes |
|
The Locally Assessed Properties
Section oversees and monitors the quality of property assessments
performed by county assessors. See the Nevada state Web site for details on how property taxes are collected in Nevada. |
| Nevada law provides for the partial abatement of property taxes based on the type of property. The sunset date for the additional 2 cents in property tax is June 30, 2009. Details on
the changes, along with 2007-2008 property tax rates, can be
found in the annual Redbook. |
|
Links to individual Nevada county
treasurer and tax assessor Web sites can be found on the Department of Taxation Web site.
Typically the assessor's online data will include the assessed
value on the county tax roll, while the county treasurer's Web
site will detail the taxes generated from the tax roll. |
| | The Nevada
Division of Aging Services administers the Senior
Citizens Property Tax Assistance Act, which provides relief
to eligible senior citizens who are found to be carrying an
excessive residential property tax burden in relation to their
income. Refunds are on the home's property taxes and the homeowner's
income. |
| Inheritance and estate taxes |
|
There is no inheritance tax in Nevada. |
|
Because
of the phaseout of the federal
estate tax, Nevada does not
require filing for decedents
whose date of death was Jan.
1, 2005, or after. If the
federal estate tax credit is reinstated, Nevada will require
filing at that time. |
| Other Nevada tax facts |
|
Nevada taxpayers can get assistance in person at one of the Department of Taxation's branch offices. |
