Iowa State Sales Tax Requirements for Bullion & Collectibles Industry

The State of Iowa requires the collection of sales taxes on certain products sold by the Coinhuskers and delivered to an Iowa address. These taxes must be collected on (1) any bullion products made of copper; (2) any coins that currently are not, or were not previously, used as legal tender; (3) accessory items; and (4) processed items.

The following definitions apply to products on which taxes must be collected in Iowa:

• Bullion. Bars, ingots, or commemorative medallions of gold, silver, platinum, palladium, or a combination of these where the value of the metal depends on its content and not its form.
• Coins. A coin made of gold, silver, or other metal which is or has been used as legal tender.
• 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 Iowa are calculated at checkout on the Coinhuskers website based on (1) the taxability of products sold by Coinhuskers in Iowa set forth above, and (2) the specific tax rates established by the taxing jurisdiction of the delivery address in Iowa.
