Buying a new car in Nevada, you pay sales tax at your county's combined rate (8.375% in Clark County, which includes Las Vegas and Henderson; 8.265% in Washoe County, which includes Reno; lower in rural counties), a governmental services tax at registration based on a depreciating share of the MSRP, a title and registration fee, and the dealer's documentary fee. Your trade-in reduces the taxable price. A car shipped to you from an Arizona partner dealer carries no Arizona tax; you pay Nevada's rate at registration. Broker Black prices every partner car with the exact rate for your county.

Nevada charges a governmental services tax when you register: 4 cents per dollar of 35% of the MSRP in the first year, depreciating on a schedule after that. On a $50,000 car that is about $700 in year one, plus the registration and title fees, and a supplemental governmental services tax in Clark and Washoe counties. It is an annual charge, so a Nevada payment quote should show it apart from the sales tax.
8.375%, the Clark County combined rate, on the selling price minus your trade-in.
No. A car the dealer ships out of Arizona is exempt from Arizona tax; you pay Nevada's rate when you register.
