We investigate the effect of primordial non‐Gaussianity of the local  f  NL  type on the auto‐ and cross‐power spectra of dark matter haloes using simulations of the Λ cold dark matter cosmology. We perform a series of large  N ‐body simulations of both positive and negative  f  NL , spanning the range between 10 and 100. Theoretical models predict a scale‐dependent bias correction  Δ b ( k ,  f  NL )  that depends on the linear halo bias   b ( M ) . We measure the power spectra for a range of halo mass and redshifts covering the relevant range of existing galaxy and quasar populations. We show that auto‐ and cross‐correlation analyses of bias are consistent with each other. We find that for low wavenumbers with   k  &lt; 0.03  h  Mpc −1   the theory and the simulations agree well with each other for biased haloes with   b ( M ) &gt; 1.5 . We show that a scale‐independent bias correction improves the comparison between theory and simulations on smaller scales, where the scale‐dependent effect rapidly becomes negligible. The current limits on  f  NL  from Slosar et al. come mostly from very large scales   k  &lt; 0.01  h  Mpc −1   and, therefore, remain valid. For the halo samples with   b ( M ) &lt; 1.5 − 2 , we find that the scale‐dependent bias from non‐Gaussianity actually exceeds the theoretical predictions. Our results are consistent with the bias correction scaling linearly with  f  NL .
