Maryland Sales Tax on Gold & Silver Bullion / Coins

BGASC ships gold and silver bullion to Maryland

The State of Maryland requires the collection of sales taxes on certain products sold by BGASC and delivered to a Maryland address.  These taxes must be collected on (1) copper products; (2) any single sales transaction of gold, silver, platinum, or palladium where the transaction amount is less than $1,000; (3) numismatic coins; (4) coins that are not, or have not been, used as mediums of exchange of the United States or any foreign country; (5) accessory items; and (6) 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 Maryland:

  • Single Sales Transaction.  Determined per invoice, and not on a line-item basis.
  • 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.
  • Medium of Exchange.  Coins or currency that are acceptable as a measure of value and a standard of exchange for goods and services.
  • 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 Maryland are calculated at checkout on the BGASC website based on (1) the taxability of products sold by BGASC in Maryland set forth above, and (2) the specific tax rates established by the taxing jurisdiction of the delivery address in Maryland.  Our sales tax license number in Maryland is 17338871.
