Nevada’s business tax and what it means for your pay
Nevada has no personal income tax, so nothing beyond federal tax, Social Security and Medicare comes out of your check. You may still hear about a Nevada payroll tax: that is the Modified Business Tax, and your employer pays it, not you. Most businesses pay 1.17% on quarterly wages above $50,000, and it isn't a paycheck deduction.
If you're weighing a move from California, the difference shows up on every paycheck, as the comparison below shows. Sales tax is where Nevada does reach you, and the rate depends on the county where you buy.
- The state's base sales tax is 6.85%, and counties can add to it.
- Clark County, which includes Las Vegas, charges 8.375%. Some rural counties stay at the 6.85% base.
- Employers pay the Modified Business Tax on wages after deducting health benefits they pay for, so it's a cost of hiring rather than a paycheck deduction.
