Tax Comparison
Looking to move your business to Nevada but aren't sure how West Coast state taxes add up?
We have provided a breakdown of useful information on how and why Nevada is your next best move:
Company Paid Taxes
Payroll taxes
Effective July 1, 2013, SB475 amended the Modified Business Tax
-
If the sum of all taxable wages (after health care deductions) paid by the employer does not exceed $85,000 for the calendar quarter, there is no tax on those wages.
-
If the sum of all taxable wages exceeds $85,000 for the calendar quarter, the tax is 1.17% of the amount exceeding $85,000.
Inventory Tax
Nevada has no inventory tax on inventories held for sale within Nevada or for interstate transit.
Company Paid Unemployment
New employers pay unemployment insurance taxes at a rate of 3% of taxable wages until they are eligible for experience rating. The employer retains this rate for a period of 14 to 17 calendar quarters (depending on the quarter in which he becomes subject to the law), after which his rate will be determined under the "Experience Rating" system.
Once eligibility for experience rating has been met, the rate is determined by two factors:
-
The reserve ratio, a measure of your previous experience with unemployment
-
The reserve ratio schedule in effect. The administrator establishes, by regulation, the schedule to be in effect for each calendar year. Changes to the schedule are made according to the trust fund balance, economic conditions and forecasts. The law provides for an annual test of the trust fund for a guideline. The balance should be sufficient to pay benefits for one full year, disregarding any additional income.
