Do you need to collect sales tax in Nevada?

You have a duty to collect once you have nexus: physical presence (inventory, staff, an office) or economic nexus from crossing $100,000 in sales or 200 transactions over previous or current calendar year. Nevada still counts transactions: crossing 200 transactions creates nexus even on modest revenue.

The Nevada rate

Nevada's statewide base rate is 6.85%. Combined state and local rates range from 7.10% to 8.375% depending on the county.

Marketplace and direct sales

Marketplaces like Amazon collect Nevada tax for you, but those sales still count toward your threshold. Direct sales on your own store you collect yourself.

Filing and zero returns

Once registered, Nevada requires a return every assigned period even when you owe $0 — miss one and you can face penalties. Filing frequency is assigned by the Nevada Department of Taxation based on sales volume: monthly (standard), quarterly (less than $10,000 in monthly sales), or annual (less than $1,500 in prior-year total sales).

When you can cancel

If your Nevada returns are mostly $0, you may be over-registered. Canceling your Nevada sales tax permit makes sense only if you are genuinely closing, restructuring, or selling your business — Nevada does not allow cancellation simply because your sales dropped below the $100,000 economic nexus threshold. The catch is that if you lose economic nexus without closing the business, you must keep your permit active and continue filing returns (reporting all sales as exempt) indefinitely.

Where TrailingZero fits

TrailingZero connects to your store read-only, maps where you actually have nexus state by state, and maps your real nexus in Nevada and flags whether you should register, keep filing, or cancel. During any wind-down it can file the zero-dollar returns so nothing lapses — and you only pay for the states you genuinely keep. Run a free audit anytime; this page is free education either way.
