Who must register for Nevada sales tax
You must register for a Nevada Sales Tax Permit if your business has a sales tax nexus in the state. This usually applies when a business:
- Exceeds the economic nexus threshold of $100,000 in annual sales or 200 or more separate transactions into Nevada in the current or previous calendar year, or;
- Has a physical presence in Nevada, such as an office, employee, warehouse, or inventory stored in the state.
Nevada's dual threshold means you must register once you cross either the dollar amount or the transaction count, whichever comes first.
Once you exceed the threshold, you should register before making further taxable sales in Nevada. If you're unsure whether your business has nexus, see the Nevada Sales Tax Guide for a broader explanation.
How to register for Nevada sales tax
Sellers can register online through the Nevada Tax Center, the state's centralized tax services portal. This is the same portal you will use to file returns and make payments after registration.
Information you need before registering
Before applying for a Nevada Sales Tax Permit, have this information ready:
- Your Social Security number (if registering as a sole proprietor with no employees)
- Your Employer Identification Number (EIN), if your business has one (required for corporations, partnerships, and most LLCs)
- North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for your primary business activity
- The date of your first sale in Nevada

1. Create your online login

2. Provide your business information
Enter your business name, address, type of entity, and any Nevada locations.
- Remote sellers without a Nevada location should indicate they are selling remotely
- Nevada uses destination-based sourcing for remote sellers, so you charge based on where the buyer is located

3. No registration fee
Nevada does not charge a fee to obtain a Sales Tax Permit. There is no payment required at the time of registration.

Once approved, you will receive:

- Access to the Nevada Tax Center for filing, payment, and account management
What happens after registration
After registering, you must begin collecting Nevada sales tax on taxable sales and file returns based on your assigned filing frequency. Note that Nevada sales tax returns are due on the last day of the month following the reporting period, which differs from most other states that use the 20th.
Nevada taxes both digital goods and SaaS. See the Nevada Sales Tax Guide for details on taxability.
