Once your business has a Nevada sales tax license and begins to make sales, you are required to start collecting sales taxes on behalf of the Nevada government and filing regular sales tax returns. This page will help you understand the basics of your tax collection and filing responsibilities.
If the seller has an in-state location in the state of Nevada, they are legally required to collect sales tax at the tax rate of the area where the buyer is located, as Nebraska is a destination based sales tax state.
If the seller's location is out of state, then the collection of sales tax is still done in the same way. The seller would still be required to charge the rate of sales tax from the buyer's location.
Nevada allows merchants to keep a small percentage of the sales tax they collect as a collection discount, which serves as compensation for the work required to comply with the Nevada sales tax regulations
The collection discount is 0.25% of tax due. Before a change came into effect on January first, 2009, the discount rate was 0.5%
