NEVADA TAX ADVANTAGES
The requirements are simple, and the benefits can be quite impressive.
The main qualifier for this tax “hospitality” is to make Nevada your central place of residence. This does not mean you cannot do business or even have residences in other states, just that Nevada is the state in which you have the closest ties.
If you are residing in Nevada and become a Nevada resident, you will generally escape state income taxes, except for income that arises from sources within another state.
Even if you are required to “source” part of your income from a state that has an income tax, you may still enjoy a significant decrease in your overall tax burden.
Below are a few reasons why you should consider Nevada for your home and business:
• 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 and directors to live in Nevada
• No tax on sale or transfer of shares
• No succession or inheritance 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
• Dynasty Trust Laws allow for wealth to be passed from generation to generation on a tax-advantaged environment
AREA PROFILE
Fallon used to just be a “dusty crossroads” between the towns of St. Clair and Stillwater. The local Native
Americans referred to Fallon as “Jim’s Town.” Jim Richards operated his store near Mike and Eliza Fallon’s
post office and ranch house, which was established in 1896.
There were soon rumors about a project to build a dam and canal to irrigate, or “reclaim”, desert lands.
Following the assassination of President McKinley in 1901, longtime conservationist Theodore Roosevelt
became President. He soon signed the papers which established the Reclamation Act of 1902 and a federal
reclamation system began financed from the sale of public lands. The Reclamation Act also created the
United States Reclamation Service (USRS).
After this national event, Fallon’s dusty crossroads would never be the same. Mike Fallon sold his ranch to
Warren W. Williams, who proceeded to have the land platted and began advertising the sale of lots. Fallon
was officially incorporated in 1908 and it’s main goal was to provide the best services to it’s residents. Fallon
at that time was expected to have a population of about 20,000 in just 2 years.
Fallon is also home to the Fallon Naval Air Station which was established in 1942. In 1959 the runway for the
Air Station was extended to 14,000 feet and since 1972 the base has served as a full-fledged Naval Air
Station that specializes in pilot training.
Fallon has also long been known as the “Oasis of Nevada.” This was first used in 1948 by the Fallon Chamber
of Commerce, and has stuck with the town since then. Fallon and its surrounding countryside are truly lush
cultural and agricultural havens in the rural Nevada desert.

Winter Recreation
The Reno / Lake Tahoe region has a wide variety of top cross-country skiing areas, downhill ski
resorts, and snow play areas. Sprinkled around the Lake Tahoe area, these winter sports areas are
blessed with abundant snow, excellent accommodations, and easy access from Reno, Sacramento,
and the Bay Area. In addition to downhill and cross-country skiing, winter sports opportunities include
snowshoeing, sledding, snow tubing, and snowmobiling.
NEVADA STATE PARKS
Camping, fishing, hiking, swimming, nature study, star-gazing—not your thing? How about mountain
biking, horseback riding, boating, water skiing, snowshoeing, ice-skating? Choose your favorite outdoor
activity and Nevada State Parks will provide a place for it. Nevada’s 23 state parks, recreation areas and
historic sites are stretched across terrains as diverse as alpine forests and bone-dry deserts.
Among them are natural lakes and man-made reservoirs, such as world-famous, 22 mile long Lake Tahoe or
the much smaller Echo Canyon and its 35-acre reservoir. Other parks provide glimpses into the past. Valley of Fire is one of the state’s oldest,
with 3,000-yearold petroglyphs carved in sandstone and breathtaking views of the maroon-colored rock formations
created during the age of the dinosaurs. Mormon Station in Genoa and the Old Las Vegas Mormon Fort
feature replicas of 19th-century fortifications and visitor centers explaining regional history.
Many campgrounds and RV facilities are open all year, depending on the weather. You can even stay in
a yurt at Cave Lake State Park near Ely. Trailheads are well marked, and facilities at many parks include
RV dump stations, showers and day use facilities for groups. For more information on Off-highway
