Why a Nevada paycheck has no state tax line
Nevada Constitution Art. 10, §1(9): 'No income tax shall be levied upon the wages or personal income of natural persons.'
Modified Business Tax (employer-paid, NRS 363A/363B): general business employers pay 1.17% of total gross wages exceeding $50,000 per calendar quarter (the first $50,000 of quarterly wages is not taxed under NRS 363B.110; rate reduced from 1.378% effective July 1, 2023). Financial institutions and mining companies (Net Proceeds of Minerals taxpayers) pay 1.554% on all wages less health-benefit deductions, with no wage exemption. Quarterly returns are required even if no tax is due.
Commerce Tax (NRS 363C): annual tax on businesses whose Nevada gross revenue exceeds $4,000,000 in a fiscal year (July 1–June 30); tax = (Nevada gross revenue − $4,000,000) × an industry-specific rate set by NAICS category, ranging from 0.051% to 0.331%. A portion of Commerce Tax paid may be credited against the Modified Business Tax.
