Sales Tax By State

Understanding Sales Tax on Precious Metals at United Patriot Coin.

When you're buying precious metals or other items from United Patriot Coin, it's important to know how sales tax works. Here's the short and simple version: sales tax rules on precious metals vary by state and even local jurisdictions - and sometimes even by the type of metal, the form it's in, or the total dollar amount of the purchase.

Some states fully exempt certain precious metals from sales tax. Others apply tax depending on the product or purchase size. And a few states tax everything, no matter what. It can get complicated fast, but don't worry - we've got it handled.

We use automated software that applies the correct tax rates based on your shipping address.

As soon as you enter your shipping information at checkout, the system calculates any applicable state and local taxes for your order. This way, you're charged exactly what the law requires - no more, no less.

If you want to get an estimate of your sales tax before completing a purchase, just:

  1. Add your items to your shopping cart.
  2. Enter your shipping address.
  3. View the tax amount calculated based on your location.
Because state and local tax laws change frequently, it's not practical (or even possible) to list every tax scenario on our website. Plus, the taxability of precious metals isn't always as straightforward as "taxed or not taxed." It can depend on factors like metal purity, form (bars, rounds, coins), and order size.

At United Patriot Coin, our focus is making sure you're charged the correct tax based on the most up-to-date laws - automatically.

A few quick things to remember:

  • Your "billing address" doesn't affect sales tax - it's based on where the order is being shipped.
  • If you're shipping to a state that exempts certain products, you'll see that reflected in your final checkout total.
  • If you're unsure about your state's laws and want to double-check, you can always consult your local tax authority or reach out to us. We're here to help.

Bottom line: you don't need to guess or stress about sales tax. Just enter your shipping details, and our system will do the heavy lifting for you.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out. Our team is always happy to help you navigate the precious metals buying process with confidence.
