Taxes on the purchase and sale of precious metals

Tennessee has eliminated the sales tax on silver bullion coins and also eliminated the sales tax on gold and platinum bullion coins. This makes the U.S. state the 42nd state to pass such a law. Taxes still apply in Hawaii, Kentucky, New Jersey, New Mexico, Maine, Mississippi, Wisconsin, Vermont and the District of Columbia.

In this country, investment gold is always tax-free when purchased. All other precious metals are still subject to value-added tax or sales tax. Silver coins, silver bars and silver coin bars, on the other hand, are subject to 19 percent VAT or, in the case of some silver investment coins, the significantly lower differential taxation. The same applies to platinum and palladium or rhodium.

If precious metal coins or bars are resold, these sales are generally exempt from any tax after a holding period of at least one year. If the sale takes place within one year, tax must be paid at the personal tax rate (above an exemption limit of up to 300 euros). If, on the other hand, an investor acquires precious metal shares, no taxes are generally due on the purchase. In the case of a sale, the profits are subject to capital gains tax or withholding tax.

When investing in precious metal shares, the investor also receives leverage on rising precious metal prices.
