1. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 4, on or before September 30 of each even-numbered year, the Department shall determine the combined revenue from the taxes imposed by chapters 363A and 363B of NRS and the commerce tax imposed by chapter 363C of NRS for the preceding fiscal year.

2. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 4, if the combined revenue determined pursuant to subsection 1 exceeds by more than 4 percent the amount of the combined anticipated revenue from those taxes for that fiscal year, as projected by the Economic Forum for that fiscal year pursuant to paragraph

(e)of subsection 1 of NRS 353.228 and as adjusted by any legislation enacted by the Legislature that affects state revenue for that fiscal year, the Department shall determine the rate at which the taxes imposed pursuant to NRS 363A.130 and 363B.110 , in combination with the revenue from the commerce tax imposed by chapter 363C of NRS, would have generated a combined revenue of 4 percent more than the amount anticipated. In making the determination required by this subsection, the Department shall reduce the rate of the taxes imposed pursuant to NRS 363A.130 and 363B.110 in the proportion that the actual amount collected from each tax for the preceding fiscal year bears to the total combined amount collected from both taxes for the preceding fiscal year.
