Alabama Gold & Silver Bullion / Collectible State Sales Taxes

Rules and Regulations for the State of Alabama

The State of Alabama requires the collection of a flat-rate Simplified Sellers Use Tax of 8% on certain products sold by Electrum Gold and delivered to an Alabama address.  These taxes must be collected on (1) copper products; (2) numismatic coins; (3) accessory items; and (4) processed items.  All other products sold by Electrum Gold are exempt from these taxes.

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

• 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.
• 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.

As required by Alabama law (Rule 810-6-2-.90.02 Simplified Sellers Use Tax Remittance Program), Electrum Gold is required to notify its Alabama customers of the following:

ELECTRUM GOLD HAS COLLECTED THE SIMPLIFIED SELLERS USE TAX ON CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS DELIVERED INTO ALABAMA AND THE TAX WILL BE REMITTED ON THE CUSTOMER’S BEHALF TO THE ALABAMA DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE.

Use taxes in Alabama are calculated at checkout  based on (1) the taxability of products sold by Electrum Gold in Alabama set forth above, and (2) the Alabama Simplified Sellers Use Tax rate of 8%.
