Nevada state tax: Overview

Nevada is a great place if you're looking to keep more of your income. There’s no state income tax at all, and property taxes tend to be on the lower side compared to other states.

It also keeps things simple when it comes to estate planning. There are no estate or inheritance taxes, so you can pass things on without added tax concerns.


[Data for this state tax guide was gathered from a number of sources including the Census Bureau, the state’s government website, the Sales Tax Handbook, and the Tax Foundation. Property taxes are cited as a rate percentage rather than the assessed value.]
