Economic Nexus: Remote Seller Rules
Remote sellers are required to register and collect Nevada sales tax if they meet either of the following thresholds in the prior or current calendar year:
- $100,000 in gross revenue from sales into Nevada, or
- 200 separate transactions for delivery into Nevada
These rules stem from the Wayfair decision and Nevada’s subsequent adoption of economic nexus standards.

Marketplace Facilitator Rules
Marketplace facilitators that exceed the same $100,000 / 200 transaction threshold must register and collect Nevada sales tax on behalf of third-party sellers.
Remote sellers using platforms such as Amazon or Etsy should ensure that the facilitator is collecting and remitting correctly.
