Nevada Private Party Car Tax Calculator

While exempt from sales tax, you must pay a $28.25 certificate of title fee, a $33.00 base passenger registration fee, and the annual Governmental Services Tax (GST) based on the vehicle's depreciated original MSRP. The estimate includes the GST for passenger vehicles.

The GST is calculated by taking 35% of the vehicle's original Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP), applying an annual depreciation percentage based on age, and multiplying by the 4% GST rate. Clark and Churchill counties add a 1% Supplemental GST on the same value, which the estimate does not include.

Because private-party sales in Nevada are already 0% sales tax, trade-in credits do not affect your sales tax liability.

Because Nevada does not levy a statewide vehicle sales or excise tax on private-party transactions, you will not owe state sales tax when titling an out-of-state private purchase in Nevada. Standard certificate of title fees and registration tag fees still apply upon titling. The yearly Governmental Services Tax also applies at registration.

In Nevada, private vehicle transfers are not subject to a statewide vehicle sales tax. When transferring title between family members, you only pay standard title transfer fees and registration charges. The yearly Governmental Services Tax also applies at registration.
