A tax amnesty program for individuals and businesses who are behind or non-compliant with current Nevada taxes is in effect through September 30, 2010. The program allows those behind on their taxes to make restitution with no fear of penalties or interest. The program was authorized by Assembly Bill 6 of the 26th Special Session of the Nevada Legislature and signed into law by Governor Gibbons.
How it works:
The Department of Taxation will administer the tax amnesty program, which runs from July 1, 2010 through September 30, 2010. The program grants a one-time waiver of penalty and interest for certain taxes due prior to July 1, 2010, provided the outstanding tax liability is paid in full during the amnesty period.
The tax types included in the amnesty program are as follows:
• Sales and Use Tax
• Modified Business Tax
• Outstanding Business License fees payable to the Department due on or before September 30, 2009
• Cigarette Tax/Other Tobacco Products Tax
• Liquor Tax
• Bank Branch Excise Tax
• Insurance Premium Tax
• Tire Tax
• Live Entertainment Tax (non-gaming)
• Short-term Lessor (Passenger Car)
• Exhibition Facilities Fees
