NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF TAXATION

Per notification from the Nevada Department of Taxation, NRS 360-780 became effective 7/22/2003 and is now being enforced. The NRS 360-780 states that a person or business entity shall not conduct business in the state of Nevada without obtaining a Nevada State Business License from the Department of Taxation. Additionally, a business is defined to include the following: sole proprietorship, corporation, partnership, proprietorship, limited-liability company, business association, joint venture limited liability partnership, business trust or equivalent entities organized under the laws of Nevada or another jurisdiction.

The Nevada State Business License is required for all business entities, regardless of being a domestic or foreign Nevada entity. Nor is it relevant whether a business entity has employees in Nevada or a physical location in Nevada, the Nevada Business License is required.

A Nevada Business Registration form and Supplemental Information form is available from the following website: http://tax.state.nv.us

Both forms must be submitted, the Business License Application form is $100.00 plus a $15.00 minimum fee for the Supplemental Information form.

The forms must be signed by a person who is specifically authorized to sign applications on the entity’s behalf (owner, officer, member…). The application, supplemental form and fees can be mailed to the following address:

  Department of Taxation
1550 E. College Parkway, Suite 115
Carson City, NV 89706-7937

The Business License fee of $100 will also need to be filed annually thereafter before the last day of the issuance anniversary month. Otherwise, a written statement must be submitted to the Taxation Department at least ten days prior to the issuance anniversary date indicating that the person or entity will no longer be conducting business in Nevada. If no annual fee or withdrawal statement is received at that time, an additional penalty fee of $100 will be added to the annual fee.

It is also further recommended that the entity receive approval for a Foreign Certificate of Authority (if applicable) prior to applying for the Business License. In doing so, the entity name will already be approved with a proper filing date with the Nevada Secretary of State and the Business License will most likely be approved more quickly.

The telephone number for the Nevada Department of Taxation is (775) 684-2000.
