Silver State Times

In 2020, Nevada collected $43.4 million in alcoholic beverages sales tax, ranking it 30th in the United States, according to the U.S. Census Bureau's Annual Survey of State Government Tax Collections (STC).

The STC survey includes five broad tax categories and up to 25 subcategories. Data is gathered from all 50 state governments and all dependent state-level entities.
