The state tax rate in Florida is 6%, but this can increase depending on your location. There are also a number of attractive exemptions. For instance, if you purchase more than $500 worth of precious metals, you do not need to pay this tax. Also, as of 1999, all US legal tender qualifies for tax exemption, even if the total amount purchased is less than $500. US legal tender includes silver coins such as the Silver Eagle, but also anything else produced by the US Mint that carries a face value.
Florida does not impose a state income tax on its citizens, so there is no taxation on capital gains on precious metals.
As mentioned above, it is very easy to avoid paying sales tax in the state of Florida. If you have less than $500 to spend, you should purchase silver coins that qualify as legal tender in the United States, which includes many popular bullion coins produced by the US Mint. There is no tax on sales of precious metals in any form above a value of $500.

With its high heat and humidity, Florida is known as the Sunshine State. It is popular as a retirement destination, and worldwide as a tourist attraction with its landmark Disney World. Add to this the honeymoon, music and casino cruises and there are plenty of activities to attract people (and money) to the state, especially in winter.

Although Miami and Orlando attract the most tourists and are almost synonymous with this state, the capital of Florida is Tallahassee. Florida has a large expat community, much of which hails from Cuba, and it is also one of the fastest growing states in the country in terms of population. There is no personal income tax in Florida and, when compared to all other states, the personal income average is right at the median. Still, this excludes retired residents and tourists, who bring an enormous amount of wealth to the state, filling its beaches and rental spaces.
Tourism brings more money to the state’s coffers than anything else, but Florida is also known for its oranges and other citrus fruits, which are exported to the nation and the world, notably Canada and Japan. The fishing, gambling and speed boat industries are also significant contributors. Florida is the storied home of Kennedy Space Centre, a keystone in the history of human exploration.
We advise all customers from the United States to check their local tax laws, and we can not be held responsible for local tax charges that result from incoming shipments of precious metals.
