          How can I file my Commerce Tax return?

          You can e-file your Commerce Tax return using the Nevada Tax Center or you can mail it to:

            How can I pay my Commerce Tax liability?

            You can pay online when filing the return electronically via the Nevada Tax Center or mail a check with the return to the address above. Payments of $10,000 or more in aggregate are required to be done electronically. More information about payments, credit and refunds can be found here.

              Do I have estimated payments for Commerce Tax during the year?

              Estimated payments are not required.

                May I request an extension to file and pay the Commerce Tax return?

                Yes. If you have good cause, a 30-day extension can be requested before the due date of the Commerce Tax return. If the Commerce Tax is paid during the period of the extension, no penalty or late charge will be imposed for failure to pay the Commerce Tax at the time required, but interest will accrue at the rate of 0.75 percent per month from the date on which the amount of tax would have been due without the extension until the date of payment.

                  How can I apply for a 30-day extension to file and pay the Commerce Tax?

                  Use the application for 30-day Extension of Time to File and Pay Commerce Tax form to request an extension. The application should be postmarked before the date on which the payment of the Commerce Tax becomes due.
