Nevada charges sales and use tax of 4.6% at the state level, and local jurisdictions add their own, which brings a typical vehicle to about 8.375%. A trade-in does reduce the taxable price, which is real money on the deal.
The 4.6% state layer is the 2% state sales tax plus the 2.6% Local School Support Tax; every county adds at least 2.25% (Basic and Supplemental City-County Relief Taxes) plus county options. Combined rates: Clark (Las Vegas) 8.375%, Washoe (Reno) 8.265%, Carson City 7.6%, minimum 6.85% (Esmeralda, Eureka, Humboldt, Mineral).
Dealers collect tax at the rate of the county where the dealership is located; private-party vehicle sales are not taxed in Nevada.
Manufacturer rebates are part of the taxable sales price (consideration paid by a third party); dealer discounts reduce it.

|---|---|
| Title | $28.25 |
| Registration (value-based) | ~$700 |
| Supplemental Governmental Services Tax (annual, Clark and Churchill counties: 1 cent per $1 of depreciated valuation) | Varies |
Lease tax applies to each monthly payment rather than to the full price of the car, so you pay it as you go.

Title is $28.25. Registration fee $33 plus Governmental Services Tax: DMV valuation = 35% of original MSRP, reduced 5% in year 1 (then 10% per year, floor 15%), taxed at 4% (minimum $16). Clark and Churchill counties add a Supplemental GST of 1% of the depreciated valuation. A $40,000 MSRP car in Clark County year 1: $33 + $532 + $133 = about $700.
