Ohio State Sales Tax Requirements for Bullion & Collectibles Industry

The State of Ohio requires the Gold Financial Group to collect sales taxes on certain products sold by Gold Financial Group and delivered to an Ohio address. These taxes must be collected on (1) bullion comprised of gold, silver, platinum, or palladium that does not meet certain purity requirements; (2) copper products including coins or bullion; (3) accessory items; and (4) processed items. All other products sold by Gold Financial Group are exempt from these taxes.

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

  • Bullion. Precious metal that is valued solely upon its precious metal content, whether in bar, round, or ingot form (Note: In Ohio, coins comprised primarily of gold, silver, platinum, or palladium are excluded from the definition of bullion).
  • Purity Requirements. Gold bullion with a minimum purity of 0.995%; silver bullion with a minimum purity of 0.999%; platinum bullion with a minimum purity of 0.9995%; and palladium bullion with a minimum purity of 0.9995%.
  • 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 Ohio are calculated at checkout on the Gold Financial Group website based on (1) the taxability of products sold by Gold Financial Group in Ohio set forth above, and (2) the specific tax rates established by the taxing jurisdiction of the delivery address in Ohio.
