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. Pershing County adds 0.25 percent of optional local tax on top, from a single 0.25 percent levy for infrastructure and public safety under NRS 377B, imposed 10/1/2008, for the 7.1 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.
