Utah Sales Tax on Gold & Silver Bullion / Coins

The State of Utah requires the collection of sales taxes on certain products sold by BGASC and delivered to a Utah address.  These taxes must be collected on (1) bullion products made of copper; (2) bullion products made of gold, silver, platinum, palladium if the gold, silver, platinum or palladium content of such product is less than 50%; (3) numismatic coins unless such numismatic coins are also used as legal tender; (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 Utah:

• Legal Tender.  Coins that must be accepted if offered in payment of a debt.
• Bullion.  Precious metal that is valued solely upon its precious metal content, whether in coin or bar form.
• Numismatic Coins.  Coins which have an external value above and beyond the base value of the underlying precious metal, due to the item’s rarity, condition, age, or other external factor.
• 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 Utah are calculated at checkout on the BGASC website based on (1) the taxability of products sold by BGASC in Utah set forth above, and (2) the specific tax rates established by the taxing jurisdiction of the delivery address in Utah.
