Local School Support Tax Law
Nevada · Local School Support Tax · §§ 374.010 to 374.815 · 159 sections
Overview
The Local School Support Tax Law imposes a sales and use tax on retail sales, storage, and use of tangible personal property within Nevada's counties, defining the transactions, property, and persons subject to the tax. It sets the rate and requires retailers to collect the tax from purchasers, display it separately from the sales price, and register with the state, while treating unpaid amounts as a debt owed to the county. The act also establishes a resale certificate system governing exempt purchases for resale — including the form of the certificate and the respective liabilities of the buyer who issues it and the seller who accepts it — and makes certain conduct unlawful, such as advertising that the retailer will absorb or assume the tax or misusing a resale certificate.
