North America Common Law
Zero state income tax operators, Nevada, USA
Nevada has no personal or corporate state income tax, one of seven US states with no income tax. Revenue replacement comes from the Modified Business Tax (payroll based, 1.378% on wages above $50,000/quarter), gaming and sales tax. For high income personal owners and operating businesses without out of state nexus, the savings versus California or New York are material.
