No state income tax on wages
The Department of Taxation states that Nevada residents do not pay state tax on income from salaries, wages or similar compensation. There is no Nevada withholding form, and employers do not withhold any state income tax, including from bonuses.
Nevada raises revenue in other ways instead, such as sales tax and property tax, plus taxes on businesses.
Payroll taxes are paid by employers
Nevada's Modified Business Tax is a payroll tax, but it is imposed on businesses based on the wages they pay, not withheld from employees. Businesses with Nevada gross revenue above a set amount may also owe the Commerce Tax, which is likewise a business tax.
No local income taxes
Las Vegas, Reno and other Nevada cities and counties do not tax wages, so your take-home pay does not depend on where in Nevada you live or work.
