§ 482.181. Governmental services taxes: Certification of amount collected each month; distribution
1. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 5, after deducting the amount withheld
by the Department and the amount credited to the Department pursuant to subsection
6 of NRS 482.180 , and the amount transferred to the State Highway Fund pursuant to NRS 482.182 , the Department shall certify monthly to the State Board of Examiners the amount
of the basic and supplemental governmental services taxes collected for each county
by the Department and its agents during the preceding month, and that money must be
distributed monthly as provided in this section. 2. Any supplemental governmental services tax collected for a county must be distributed
only to the county, to be used as provided in NRS 371.043 , 371.045 and 371.047 . 3. The distribution of the basic governmental services tax received or collected for
each county must be made to the State Education Fund or the fund for capital projects
or debt service fund of a county school district, as applicable, before any distribution
is made to a local government, special district or enterprise district. For the purpose of calculating the amount of the basic governmental services tax
to be distributed to the State Education Fund or the fund for capital projects or
debt service fund of a county school district, as applicable, the taxes levied by
each local government, special district and enterprise district are the product of
its certified valuation, determined pursuant to subsection 2 of NRS 361.405 , and its tax rate, established pursuant to NRS 361.455 for the fiscal year beginning on July 1, 1980, except that the tax rate for school
districts, including the rate attributable to a district's debt service, is the rate
established pursuant to NRS 361.455 for the fiscal year beginning on July 1, 1978, but if the rate attributable to a
district's debt service in any fiscal year is greater than its rate for the fiscal
year beginning on July 1, 1978, the higher rate must be used to determine the amount
attributable to debt service. 4. After making the distributions set forth in subsection 3, the remaining money received
or collected for each county must be deposited in the Local Government Tax Distribution
Account created by NRS 360.660 for distribution to local governments, special districts and enterprise districts
within each county pursuant to the provisions of NRS 360.680 and 360.690 . 5. An amount equal to any basic governmental services tax distributed to a redevelopment
agency in the Fiscal Year 1987-1988 must continue to be distributed to that agency
as long as it exists but must not be increased. 6. The Department shall make distributions of the basic governmental services tax
directly to the State Education Fund or the fund for capital projects or debt service
fund of a county school district, as applicable. 7. As used in this section: (a) “ Enterprise district ” has the meaning ascribed to it in NRS 360.620 . (b) “ Local government ” has the meaning ascribed to it in NRS 360.640 .
