Nevada rules that trip people up

Nevada LLC: $425 in state fees to start

Articles of Organization cost $75 (NRS 86.561). The initial list of managers or managing members, $150, is filed at the same time (NRS 86.263), and the $200 state business license is obtained with that list (NRS 76.100).

Source: NRS 86.561

Nevada corporation: fees follow share value

Articles of Incorporation cost $75 when the total authorized share value is $75,000 or less, and more above that, up to $35,000 (NRS 78.760). Shares without par value count at $1 each. Add the $150 initial list and the $500 corporate business license.

No state income tax on most small companies

Nevada has no corporate or personal income tax. Its Commerce Tax applies only to businesses with Nevada gross revenue above $4,000,000 in a taxable year (NRS 363C.200).

Annual list and business license: due every anniversary month

Every Nevada LLC and corporation files an initial list of managers or officers when it forms, then an annual list by the last day of the month in which its formation anniversary falls (NRS 86.263; NRS 78.150). The LLC list is $150; a corporation's list starts at $150 and rises with the value of its authorized shares. The $200 state business license, $500 for a corporation, renews with the list (NRS 76.100). So an LLC's yearly state cost is $350.

Registered agent in Nevada

Every Nevada entity names a registered agent in its formation filing: a commercial registered agent, or a noncommercial agent with a Nevada street address, and the agent signs a certificate of acceptance (NRS 77.310). The agent's Nevada street address is the company's registered office.

What a missed list sets in motion

A company that misses its list is in default and owes a $75 penalty on top of the fee (NRS 86.272), plus a $100 penalty on the late business license. If it stays in default, its charter is revoked on the first day of the first anniversary of the month after the month the list was due (NRS 86.274). Reinstatement then costs $300 plus every missed fee and penalty (NRS 86.276).

What Nevada really costs

Nevada is famous for having no state income tax, and the Commerce Tax only reaches businesses with more than $4,000,000 of Nevada gross revenue in a year (NRS 363C.200). The trade-off is a higher fixed filing cost. An LLC pays $75 for its articles, $150 for its initial list and $200 for its state business license on day one, then $350 every year for the list and license renewal.

For corporations the yearly cost depends on how the articles describe authorized shares. Keep the total share value at $75,000 or less, and the annual list stays at $150 plus the $500 corporate business license (NRS 78.150; NRS 76.100).

The order that keeps a new Nevada company clean

Pick a name that is distinguishable on the Secretary of State's records and carries an LLC ending (NRS 86.171). Line up a registered agent who will sign the certificate of acceptance (NRS 77.310). File the articles with the initial list and business license in one submission, then get the EIN in the exact registered name, open the bank account, and register with the Department of Taxation if you sell taxable goods or run payroll.

If you will trade under another name, file a fictitious firm name certificate with the county clerk in each county where you do business (NRS 602.010). Put the anniversary month on your calendar the day the filing comes back.
