I have purchased two condos with Wendy's services as a REALTOR and would not have found those deals without her help.

Nevada Offers a Tax Friendly Environment

THE GREATER RENO-TAHOE ADVANTAGE

 

The State of Nevada offers one of the most tax and business friendly environments of any state. CPA's, tax advisors, and asset protection specialists have recognized for years the benefits of calling Nevada home!

Sixteen Reasons to become a Nevada Resident

No personal income tax
No corporate income tax
No gross receipts tax
No franchise tax
No inventory tax
No tax on issuance of corporate shares
No requirements of shareholders & directors to live in Nevada
No tax on sale or transfer of shares
No succession or inheritance with IRS
No sharing of information with IRS
Simple annual requirements
Protection for Directors and Officers
No initial or minimum capital requirements
Anonymity of owners-Total Privacy
Low property taxes
Business friendly environment
Privacy is yours in Nevada

If you have ever been audited by our friends at the IRS, you understand the expense and hassle of doing business with them. The State of Nevada is the only state in the nation that does not share information with the IRS. It has been noted by tax professionals that many audits are derived because information shared by the states with the IRS does not match up.

You privacy is further valued by the State of Nevada because they do not require a registration of stockholders. Your stockholders stay anonymous and are protected because their names do not show up on every website and list about your corporation.

"Bearer Shares" used to be a very common tool for promoting and expanding your business. In today's wired world, bureaucrats and tax agencies want to know everything about everyone so that they can ensure thorough collection of tax revenues. The advantage to Bearer Shares is that they are owned by whoever physically owns the stock/share and this information is kept between the corporation and the owner of the shares.

Assets held within a Nevada corporation are not required to be disclosed. Most states not only require disclosure of assets, they also tax you on those assets.

Lastly, your attorney can become the corporation's Officer and Director with you being the sole shareholder, thus almost ensuring complete anonymity.

Saving Money on Taxes
So you might be asking yourself, if Nevada does not tax corporate profits, or tax franchises or even tax personal income, how do they pay the bills? One word, gaming. The revenues Nevada realizes because of gaming is significant enough to fund most government operations.
Nevada also wants your business. Nevada has realized that if they are friendly to businesses, this benefits the businesses, the employees and the state. Yes there is a state that actually believes in a "Win-Win" mentality, and Nevada makes it clear that that is their intention.

How to take advantage of Nevada's tax benefits
There are two ways to reap Nevada's freedom from taxes. First is to start a corporation for your business' tax relief. Consult a Nevada CPA or legal professional for more detailed information on incorporating your business in Nevada.

As an individual, you will need to become a resident of the state. Individuals who are "domiciled" in Nevada and become Nevada residents will generally escape state taxation of their income, except for income arising from sources within another state. Again, check with your financial professional on income derived in other states. Even if part of your income has to be taxed in other states, you may still see a reduction in your overall tax liability.

Test for Residency

Various factors are considered in determining whether a taxpayer has met Nevada's residency criteria.
How long are you physically present in Nevada during the year?
Where do you have sources of income?
Where are you registered to vote?
Where do you own a house?
Where do you claim the homeowner's exemption?
Where is your driver's license issued?
Where are your closest business contacts, including clubs?
Where are your vehicles are registered?
Where your minor children attend school, and whether you paid resident or non-resident tuition.
Which state has jurisdiction in the administration of your wills and trusts?
Where have you obtained a homestead exemption?
Where do you maintain a safety deposit box(es)?
Where do you file an affidavit of domicile?
Where do you own a cemetery plot?

Companies Invest in Greater Reno-Tahoe Creating 200 New Jobs

The New Year showed glimmers of economic life as three companies announced in January they are moving their operations and expanding in the Greater Reno-Tahoe area creating 200 new jobs and injecting more than $27 million in economic impact into the community.

According to the Economic Development Authority of Western Nevada (EDAWN) and its regional partners that assisted the companies, an additional 75 indirect jobs will be created as a result of the suppliers and construction jobs relating to the three new projects. The businesses represent key industry sectors outlined in the Target2010 economic planning study that economic development officials are looking to grow in the area thanks to their skilled, good paying jobs. The industries include clean energy technology, advanced manufacturing and business and financial services. Two of the three companies offer skilled jobs paying an average of $25.30 an hour which is 28.5 percent higher than the average state wage of $19.69.

“The companies are in industries that were identified by the Target2010 economic planning study as having the greatest potential to succeed given our region’s infrastructure, workforce, and other community assets,” said Chuck Alvey, president and CEO for EDAWN. “With the rising unemployment rate in Nevada, more skilled professionals are looking for jobs, and these companies want to tap into that labor market which is a ‘win-win’ for businesses and helps get local professionals back to work.”

The companies include:
Selco Products is a manufacturer and distributor of thermal measurement and control devices for the medical, electronics, food service and telecommunications industry that is moving its headquarters from southern California to Reno. The company plans to hire 15 employees locally and is bringing 25 workers from California. Selco Products is planning to open its 29,703 square footage at 8780 Technology Way in Reno later this spring representing $11.8 million in economic impact to the region. Partners on the project include EDAWN, NV Energy, UNR College of Engineering and Nevada Works. United Construction is the developer.

Mariah Power manufactures low-cost, low-noise wind power appliances for use with residential, business and commercial buildings. Its Windspire is the lowest cost residential-scale wind system on the market. The company recently expanded its Reno headquarters and research and development after considering moving to the San Francisco Bay Area adding nine new jobs locally. The company recently moved into a new 7,500 square foot facility at 5470 Louie Lane in Reno.

The expansion represents $3.2 million in economic impact to the area. The company moved its manufacturing to Ohio late last year, but maintains its headquarters in Nevada. Partners on the project include: EDAWN, NV Energy, Truckee Meadows Community College, MAP and Nevada Works.

“Mariah Power decided to keep our headquarters and R&D in Reno because its gorgeous natural setting draws an outdoor-oriented crowd that values nature and the environment, values that are important to our company. The city is large enough to offer and attract the right talent, and the somewhat windy conditions create an ideal situation for a wind power company. There is also a substantial cost advantage, ranging from the cost of space to the general costs of doing business in Nevada as compared with California,” said Mike Hess, president of Mariah Power.

The Hartford Financial Services Group The Hartford, a Connecticut-based financial services company, announced it is returning to Reno-Tahoe after leaving in 2007. The company is opening a 28,856 square foot customer service center at its previous office at 9850 Double R Boulevard in Reno. The Hartford plans to employ approximately 150 employees by late spring and will generate $12 million in economic impact. Tim Ruffin from Colliers International was the leasing broker. EDAWN assisted the company with an employee benefits survey and hosted them at a local job fair.

Since July 2008, EDAWN and its regional economic development partners report assisting 12 companies creating 372 new jobs and leasing or purchasing 349,459 square footage of office or commercial space. The companies represent nearly $67 million in economic impact to the region. A complete list of those companies is available here.
