Minnesota Sales Tax on Gold & Silver Bullion / Coins

The State of Minnesota requires the collection of sales taxes on certain products sold by BGASC and delivered to a Minnesota address.  These taxes must be collected on (1) copper products; (2) all coins; (3) precious metal bullion that does not meet certain purity requirements; (4) accessory items; and (5) processed items.  All other products sold by BGASC are exempt from these taxes.

The following definitions apply to products on which taxes must be collected in Minnesota:

• Coins.  A coin made of gold, silver, or other metal which is or has been used as legal tender.
• Precious Metal Bullion.  Any precious metal bullion which does not meet the definition of Precious Metal Bullion.  Precious Metal Bullion is defined as “bars or rounds that consist of 99.9 percent or more by weight of either gold, silver, platinum, or palladium and are marked with weight, purity, and content.”
• Accessory Items.  Items such as holders, tubes, coin flips, and apparel.
• Processed Items.  Precious metals that have been processed by third parties into items that are valued on more than their precious metal content, such as statues or colorized coins.

Sales taxes in Minnesota are calculated at checkout on the BGASC website based on (1) the taxability of products sold by BGASC in Minnesota set forth above, and (2) the specific tax rates established by the taxing jurisdiction of the delivery address in Minnesota.  Our sales tax license number in Minnesota is 5811670.
