I realize the State Of Nevada is taxing gun transfers any way they can. I inherited a firearm (rifle) from the father in laws estate. I had to pay Tax on the $25.00 transfer to me. Confused, no goods purchased only paper work.

While it is a service and shouldn't be taxed, Dept. of Taxation says it should be.

3. Fees or Service Charges By The Firearms Dealer Are Subject to Taxation.
On the other hand, a fee or service charge assessed by the FFL or the out of state dealer to cover costs, including costs incurred for the delivery of the firearm is subject to sales tax
because “sales price” includes the cost of materials used, labor or service cost. The retail selling price is the total consideration for which the property is sold: the amount paid to the out
of state seller and any fee by the FFL to process the transfer.


This opens up another door that some FFLs are charging tax on. If the gun is sold to you by a private party, there is no sales tax to be collected. I had to find the document and send it to the FFL.

B. Taxability When Person Making the Sale is Not a Retailer
The statute provides an exemption for a sale by a person that is not a retailer. If the firearm is obtained from a person making an occasional sale there are no sales or use taxes due. An occasional sale is a sale by a person who has made two or fewer retail sales of tangible personal property during any 12-month period. NRS 372.320.

Nevada A.B 316 last year was supposed to fix this:

AB 316 – Sponsored by: Assemblywoman Dickman
This bill will remove the burden of collecting sales tax on out-of-state transfers from gun stores.
Text of A.B. 316

It was killed by Governor B.S. and his happy pack of idiot RINOs, the same ones that raised your taxes $1.1 billion.
