Concourse Nevada Convention Sales-Tax Kit
For performers and studios selling merchandise at Las Vegas conventions and expos

At 6pm on the last day, the return gets guessed.

Concourse works out the One-Time Sales Tax Return the promoter hands every vendor — what sold, sorted into taxable goods, untaxed services and digital cards, and giveaways that carry use tax, at the event location’s rate — and lays it out to copy onto the form. It warns before the third Nevada show in twelve months, when a permit is required.

The problem

Hand it back with the tax before you leave.

Nevada’s guidelines for one-time events say the promoter gives each vendor a One-Time Sales Tax Return, and the vendor hands it back with the tax before leaving. A vendor selling at more than two events in twelve months must register for a regular Sales and Use Tax Permit. With a cash box, a card reader and prices that include the tax, the figures are hard to get right at the end of a long weekend.

Location rate

the sales-tax rate is the event location’s, set for each show.

Will not hand in a return that is incomplete.

Not a reminder. Handed to the promoter refuses, with the reason named, while the business name and address, the rate, the promoter or the signature is missing, or this is a third event in twelve months and no Nevada permit number is on file. There is no override.

How it works

Events, sales, return

Add each show

Dates, venue, county, promoter, booth and the location’s rate. Concourse counts the Nevada shows in the twelve months before each one.

Write down what sold

Prints and T-shirts are taxable; photo-op time and download cards are not; giveaways carry use tax. Prices with the tax included are worked backwards.

Copy the return

The figures laid out as the promoter’s form wants them, with the cash to hand over.

What it will never do

It fills in the figures. The promoter’s form is what is handed in.

Concourse works out the numbers. It does not register you or file anything.

No filing.Nothing goes to Nevada. You copy the figures onto the promoter’s form.
No rate lookup.You set the rate for the event’s location; the demo uses Clark County’s.
It is not an accountant.A question about a permit goes to the Department or yours.
It never touches a payment.The licence is for software.

Questions

The ones we actually get asked

Are photo-op tickets taxable?

Concourse sorts services like photo-op time and digital download cards as not taxable, and tangible goods like prints and shirts as taxable.

What about things I give away?

High-value goods given away free carry use tax. Concourse puts them on their own line.

When do I need a permit?

When you sell at more than two Nevada events in twelve months. Concourse counts them and refuses the third return without a permit number.

Is this tax advice?

No. It is the arithmetic, done before the doors close.

What do I actually get when I pay?

The demo on this page is the whole program, running on invented records. Paying gets you a licence key — one line of text, emailed to the address you give at checkout within two working days. Paste it into the program and from then on it keeps your own records. Until then, nothing you type into it is kept.

The key is checked inside the page, on your own machine. It never calls us, so there is still no account and nothing about your business goes anywhere. If you ever stop paying, your records stay exactly where they are, read-only, and Export still hands you every one of them.

Open the demo before the next show

The invented performer is at a third Las Vegas show this year with no permit yet, prices that include the tax, photo-ops and download cards that are not taxable, giveaways carrying use tax, and an unsigned return. Concourse catches every one.
