Why the rate here is not the whole story
Nevada's statewide minimum rate of 6.85 percent applies in every county and is four separate taxes imposed statewide at once: a 2 percent Sales Tax under NRS 372 that goes to the State General Fund, a 2.6 percent Local School Support Tax under NRS 374, and City-County Relief Taxes under NRS 377 made up of 0.5 percent Basic and 1.75 percent Supplemental, which together are 2.25 percent. Carson City adds 0.75 percent of optional local tax on top, from 0.25 percent for public roads under NRS 377A, 0.25 percent for open space by ordinance, and two NRS 377B levies of 0.125 percent each for V&T Railroad bonds and infrastructure, for the 7.6 percent the Department publishes for the county. Carson City is a consolidated municipality with no separate county government, so its Board of Supervisors exercises the county commissioners' taxing power and the rate is the same at every address in the jurisdiction. Nevada cities and towns have no authority to impose a general sales tax of their own. Unprepared food for human consumption is exempt statewide, while prepared food sold for immediate consumption is taxable.
