LAS VEGAS ā The Private Bank by Nevada State Bank released the latest edition of its High Net Worth Report series today. Issue 2 of 2020 outlines the tax benefits for high net worth households in Nevada. Due to the overwhelming share of new residents from California and the recent relocation of the Raiders football team, the tax advantages of living in the Silver State are illustrated by a hypothetical professional football player in this report.
Highlights from the report include:
Ā· In Nevada, a household with an annual income of just over $600,000 can expect to save an estimated $70,000 each year in total taxes paid compared to California.
Ā· A majority of the relative tax burden for households in California is related to state income taxes. By living in Nevada, which has no state income tax, high net worth households can save thousands of dollars a year. For a player in this example, earning the NFL league minimum salary of $610,000 per year, the savings in income taxes alone equate to more than $57,000.
Ā· Nevadaās property tax rates are generally higher than Californiaās, but that difference is largely diminished since Nevada assesses taxes based on 35% of a propertyās taxable value, compared to 100% in California. Comparable homes in Nevada are also significantly cheaper. The combination of these two factors means the hypothetical Raiders player could save more than $11,000 annually in property taxes.
Ā· The sales tax rate in Nevada, in combination with the lower cost of living, means households in the Silver State can expect to pay lower taxes annually on all taxable purchases. The hypothetical football player would save an estimated $1,600 per year in sales taxes.
āNevada remains a tax-friendly locale for high net worth households overall,ā said James Rensvold, executive vice president and director of private banking. āGiven the recent change to the federal tax code that limited deductions of state and local taxes, higher-tax states such as California have become even more burdensome for residents, increasing the tax advantages of living in Nevada.ā
