Massachusetts State Sales Tax Requirements for Bullion & Collectibles Industry
The State of Massachusetts requires the collection of sales taxes on certain products sold by the Coinhuskers and delivered to a Massachusetts address. These taxes must be collected on (1) copper, platinum, and palladium products; (2) any single sales transaction of numismatic coins if the value of the sale is less than $1,000: (3) any single sales transaction of gold or silver products that are not numismatic coins if the value of the sale is less than $1,000; (4) any single sales transaction of gold or silver legal tender of any nation if the value of the sale is less than $1,000; (5) accessory items; and (6) processed items. All other products sold by Coinhuskers are exempt from these taxes.
The following definitions apply to products on which taxes must be collected in Massachusetts:
- 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.
- Legal Tender. Coins that must be accepted if offered in payment of a debt.
- 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 Massachusetts are calculated at checkout on the Coinhuskers website based on (1) the taxability of products sold by Coinhuskers in Massachusetts set forth above, and (2) the specific tax rates established by the taxing jurisdiction of the delivery address in Massachusetts.
