Nevada employs two different standards - a physical presence and a substantial nexus - to determine if a business is subject to sales tax. Physical presence in Nevada established by a business that has employees/representatives, offices, stores, warehouses, or inventory stored in Nevada. A business with physical presence must register, collect, remit, and report ALL their sales regardless if they do not meet the threshold. A Nevada business is deemed as having substantial nexus if they either: Maintain a place of business in Nevada; Enter an agreement with a resident of Nevada under which the resident is paid to directly or indirectly refer potential customers to the business; Or make more than $100,000 of retail sales into Nevada, or more than 200 separate retail transactions in the state. A business that meets either the physical presence or substantial nexus standard must register with the Department of Taxation for a sales and use tax permit.

Submit Security Deposit for Nevada Sales Tax Permit
A sales and use tax permit will not be issued until applicable security is submitted. The amount of the deposit is based upon your estimated average monthly tax liability. To determine this, identify your average monthly taxable sales and multiply this figure by the highest tax rate in Nevada. This is your estimated average monthly tax liability. Security is required equal to three times your monthly tax liability for monthly reporting or six times monthly tax liability for quarterly reporting. A security deposit will not be required if the amount calculated does not exceed $1,000. There is no maximum security. After three full years of perfect reporting, you may apply for a waiver of the security requirement.
