Nevada Sales Tax Bond

If you have a Nevada company that sells tangible personal property, you need to get a sales tax permit. In most cases, this also entails posting a Nevada sales tax bond.

The requirement for posting a bond is only applicable if the security amount is estimated at more than $1,000. The calculation is made on the basis of your business’ taxable monthly sales.

The permit is obtained by applying with the Nevada Department of Taxation and meeting all requirements, including the bonding requirement if needed.

The sales tax bond price that you will have to pay is determined by the bond amount that you are required to post. The bond amount should be three times your monthly sales and use tax, or the estimation of this tax. If this amount is less than $1,000, you are not required to post a security.

While your bond amount can be significant, your bond premium is only a few percentages of it. If your finances are in good shape, you can expect bonding rates between 1% and 5%. If you have to post a $20,000 bond, this would mean a premium in the range of $200-$1,000.

Your sales tax bond price is determined by your surety when you apply for the bonding. The surety needs to examine your personal and business finances. The most important factors include personal credit score, as well as business finances, assets and liquidity, and business expertise. If your finances are stable, you are likely to pay less for your bond.

When you get bonded, it’s important to grasp the difference between insurance and surety bonds. Your Nevada sales tax bond does not protect your company. Instead, it is an instrument for the state to ensure that you will pay all due taxes and fees to state and local authorities.

If you don’t make all payments in time and in their full amounts, a claim can be made on your bond. If the case is proven, the maximum penal sum of the bond can be used to reimburse the authorities in charge. Your surety is required to cover these costs at first, but you are liable to repay it fully afterwards.

Having a claim against your bond is a serious threat to your business. Besides the immediate financial harm, it can prevent you from getting bonded in the future. That’s why the best option is to avoid claims as much as possible. Follow all applicable laws, and, if a problem arises, work with your surety before the situation becomes grave.
