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. Clark County adds 1.525 percent of optional local tax on top, from 0.25 percent for flood control under NRS 543, two NRS 377A regional transportation levies of 0.25 percent each, 0.25 percent for the Southern Nevada Water Authority under NRS 377B, 0.3 percent and 0.1 percent for police under special acts, and 0.125 percent for the State Education Fund under NRS 377D, for the 8.375 percent the Department publishes for the county. The rate is the same at every address in the county because Nevada cities and towns have no authority to impose a general sales tax and every optional local tax is imposed countywide by the board of county commissioners. Unprepared food for human consumption is exempt statewide, while prepared food sold for immediate consumption is taxable.
