Short answer
Be careful. Nevada bars permit cancellation solely due to losing economic nexus. Once a seller no longer meets the threshold, they are not required to collect and remit tax, but must continue filing returns with all sales reported as exempt (column A total sales, column B exempt).

Do you still have nexus in Nevada?
You can only cancel once your obligation has ended. Two things create it: physical presence (inventory, an employee, an office) and economic nexus (crossing $100,000 in sales or 200 transactions).
For Amazon FBA and 3PL sellers the sneaky one is physical nexus: storing inventory in Nevada creates it. Physical presence including offices, employees, or inventory stored in Nevada warehouses (e.g., Amazon FBA fulfillment centers) creates physical nexus immediately. If that inventory has since left the state, your physical nexus may have already ended even though the registration is still open.
Trailing nexus in Nevada
Nevada bars permit cancellation solely due to losing economic nexus. Once a seller no longer meets the threshold, they are not required to collect and remit tax, but must continue filing returns with all sales reported as exempt (column A total sales, column B exempt). Permit cancellation is only permitted if the business is closing, restructuring, or selling. The practical trailing filing obligation continues indefinitely until a qualifying business closure event occurs.
Nevada bars permit cancellation for loss of economic nexus. Seller must continue filing zero/exempt returns. Permit closure requires a business closure, restructuring, or sale event — not merely dropping below the threshold.
How to cancel your Nevada sales tax permit
- Confirm both your physical and economic nexus in Nevada have actually ended.
- Work through Nevada's trailing-nexus window and keep filing (even $0 returns) until it closes.
- File any outstanding returns and the final return (REV-F020), marking it final.
- Close the account via the online portal or form REV-F020.
- Keep your records; states can review a closed account for several years.
