Save Money With Tax Incentives

Nevada has no state income tax, giving you immediate cost savings. Plus, qualifying businesses can access tax incentives, including sales tax abatements, payroll tax relief, and deferrals on equipment taxes. As the regional economic development authority, LVGEA offers free expertise and advocacy to help businesses secure these abatements. Learn more about Nevada’s tax benefits here.

Unlock Federal Trade Zone Cost Savings

For businesses engaged in international trade, becoming a Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) operator can provide a competitive edge. Companies that operate within an FTZ can defer or eliminate duties on imported goods until they’re released into the U.S. market, saving money and reducing cash flow requirements. FTZs also offer logistical advantages, such as streamlined customs procedures and improved supply chain management. As the grantee for FTZ No. 89 in Southern Nevada, LVGEA has a proven track record of success in helping companies take full advantage of international commerce opportunities.

Learn more about how your business can take advantage of FTZ cost savings.
