Breaking Down Bullion Sales Tax in Arizona

Arizona currently exempts any sales tax on coins, bullion, and currency purchases. According to the Arizona sales tax policy, the  sale of precious metal bullion and monetized bullion to the ultimate consumer is not taxable. "Precious metal bullion" refers to a precious metal item, including gold, silver, platinum, rhodium, and palladium, that has been smelted or refined so that its value depends solely on its contents and not on its form. "Monetized bullion" refers to coins and other forms of money that are manufactured from gold, silver or other metals and that have been or are used as a medium of exchange in this or another US state, or a foreign nation. However, there is a 5.6% sales tax on precious metal products like jewelry or other works of art, and there can be an additional tax in different counties and cities of Arizona.

When buying from Bullion Exchanges, the residents of Arizona do not have to pay any sales taxes, as Bullion Exchanges is not based in Arizona.
