Nevada rules for card-show vendors
- Rate
- The base rate is 6.85% plus county taxes. Clark County (Las Vegas) is 8.375%. The promoter must make sure the correct rate for the event location is applied.
- What you need
- No vendor permit for occasional sellers. The promoter holds a One-Time Special Event Permit, and vendors file a One-Time Sales Tax Return through the promoter. Vendors selling at more than two events in a 12-month period must get their own Sales & Use Tax Permit.
- Cost
- No fee stated in the guidelines.
- How to get it
- Tell the promoter whether you will sell taxable goods. The promoter gives you the One-Time Sales Tax Return form.
- The organizer
- Register at mynvtax.nv.gov at least 2 weeks before the event and upload a vendor list. Distribute One-Time returns, collect every completed return and payment before vendors leave, reconcile them against the vendor list, and submit a final vendor list. Remit tax for vendors without NV accounts (including out-of-state vendors), filing under the month the event ended. Promoters with more than two events in 12 months need a regular permit.
- Filing and paying
- Complete the One-Time Sales Tax Return at the end of the event and hand it to the promoter with the tax (checks payable to the promoter). Vendors with a NV account still complete the one-time return with their permit number, and may report the tax on their regular return.
- Occasional sellers
- Vendors at no more than two events in 12 months use the promoter process. This is not an exemption from tax.
- Trades
- Not researched.
- Are cards taxable?
- Taxable as tangible personal property. No exemption found.
Keeping the numbers straight
Add the show in the Shows tab of the ledger with the venue's combined rate and tie each sale to it. The card-show sales tax log then shows taxable sales, the tax you owe at the rate, the tax you actually collected and the gap, so the return is a copy job. If you priced cards with tax included, tick that box and the tax is backed out of each sale.
General rules that apply in every state, like resale certificates and tax-inclusive pricing, are in the card show sales tax guide. For trades, see record-keeping for card trades.
