NEVADA LEGISLATURE APPROVES TRANSIENT LODGING TAX INCREASE
The 2009 Nevada state legislature has passed Initiative Petition 1 (IP1) mandating an increase in the transient lodging tax rate in all Nevada counties with populations of 300,000 or more. Within unincorporated Clark County, the tax rate increase is three percent (3%) and goes into effect on July 1, 2009.
In order to implement IP1, an Ordinance was approved by the Board of County Commissioners on June 2, 2009. The ordinance has not yet been codified in the Clark County Code but may be obtained at the link provided.
All transient lodging establishments should have begun collecting the additional tax starting on July 1, 2009. Additional information for transient lodging establishments pertaining to this tax is available in our IP1 Industry Notification Letter.
Transient Lodging Tax Returns, starting with July 2009, have been updated to reflect the new combined transient lodging tax rate. Additionally, a Combined Transient Lodging Tax Return Preparer's Guide and A General Information Guide for Transient Lodging Establishments are now available on our Transient Lodging Guidance page. These publications contain useful information for transient lodging establishments in the preparation combined transient lodging tax returns and various other licensing issues. |
