Tax forms/Sales Tax:
Do you have a Nevada Department of Taxation ID number?

  • NO – If you are an exhibitor attending a one-time special event, tradeshow, convention or a participant in a flea market, contact your event promoter to declare if you will be a vendor transacting sales of tangible products at the event. The promoter will provide those VENDORS a “one-time sales tax return”. Vendors will be required to complete this return and remit it with the sales tax collected back to the promoter at the end of the event. The promoter will forward the completed return and your payment to the Department on your behalf. All checks should be made payable to the Nevada Department of Taxation. If you sell at more than two events in Nevada during a twelve month period, you must register with the Department and obtain your own Sales & Use Tax Permit. If you require further assistance contact the Department’s Call Center at (866) 962-3707.
  • YES – If a vendor has no sales, or has non-taxable sales, or already holds a Nevada Sales & Use Tax Permit, the vendor is still required to sign and turn in the one-time tax return showing zero. If a vendor has an existing sales tax permit, have them clearly indicate that number on all three copies of the “One-Time Sales Tax Return”. Those vendors may remit payment of taxes collected at the event on their “regular” Sales & Use Tax Return.
  • Sales taxes will be collected at the show. You will need to fill out all three sections of the “one-time sales tax return” before leaving the show:
    •Name of Business or Individual
    •Phone Number
    •Business Address
    •Business Federal Identification Number
    •Gross Taxable Sales
    •Sales Tax Due
    •Signature of Vendor
    •Assigned Space Number (if applicable).
  • Sales tax rate is 8.38%.
