Provides for taxes on the sale or transfer of a controlling interest in an entity which possesses an interest in real property. (BDR 32-687)
AB 362 is a proposed Nevada bill that imposes a tax on the sale or transfer of a controlling interest (majority ownership stake) in any entity owning real property in the state, when the property's value exceeds $100. It applies to buyers of such entity stakes (e.g., purchasing majority shares in a company that owns land), taxing them at rates similar to existing real property transfer taxes ($1.25 per $500 of value in high-population counties, $0.65 in others). The tax must be filed and paid by the buyer to county recorders within a month of the transfer, with proceeds distributed identically to current real property tax funds (e.g., to local governments, affordable housing, or state agricultural programs). The bill defines key terms like "controlling interest" and includes penalties for falsely reporting property value, but remains pending in committee as of April 2025.

MODERATE
The bill was amended to shift tax administration from the state Department of Taxation to county recorders, modify withholding rates for counties, add new definitions for 'controlling interest,' and expand the range of sections governing tax enforcement.
Scope change
The bill now applies to county recorders rather than the state Department of Taxation for administering and collecting the controlling interest transfer tax.
REQUIREMENT
Tax returns and payments are now filed with the county recorder instead of the Department of Taxation.
FISCAL
County recorders may now deduct and withhold 2% of collected taxes for the first 5 years, then 1% thereafter, to reimburse counties for collection costs.
DEFINITION
A new definition for 'controlling interest' was added, specifying ownership of more than 50% of voting power or capital/profit interest in a corporation.
ENFORCEMENT
Penalties for false declarations were increased to include a 25% penalty on additional tax owed, and enforcement sections were expanded to include more detailed administrative provisions.
TECHNICAL
The bill's section numbering was updated to include new sections (e.g., 2.5, 5-5.7, 10.5, 24.1-24.18) that were added during the amendment process.
