Georgia is not one of the 5 US states that doesn’t have sales taxes but, when it comes to precious metals, there are broad investor-friendly exemptions. That said, these exemptions do not cover all precious metals and sales tax may be due on coins of weak purity or that are not legal tender, or medallions and tokens.
The state sales tax rate is 4% and, with the addition of local taxes, this can rise as high as 8% in some areas. These variables and the exemption rules make it important to do your research in advance.
In the state of Georgia, the Federal Capital Gains Tax will reduce your profits. The rate you pay depends on your income and location, but it will not be above 28%. This tax is only due on the profits that you make from the sale of precious metals, and does not apply if you take a loss or if you simply hold onto your investment.
All legal tender, whether minted for use in the United States or in other countries, is exempt from sales tax in Georgia. The same applies to precious metal bullion with a purity of more than .900 and is purchased for investment purposes. Numismatics, which includes rare coins, bars and other forms, are also exempt, although in this case the rules are a little less clear cut and may not apply to all forms. Of course, if you want to guarantee a tax exemption on your precious metal purchases, simply buy online, where you can find tax-free precious metals. You will pay extra for shipping and handling, so you will need to calculate whether these additional fees offset the absence of sales tax.
