Buying or Selling
Gold and Silver in Maine

Your comprehensive resource for buying and selling bullion in the state of Maine.

Purchasing bullion and precious metals should never be done without research, especially when it comes to tax regulations and laws that apply to these investments. Depending on where you buy your gold or silver, these taxes can fluctuate significantly. That being said, here are the taxes and regulations to keep in mind if investing in Maine.

Maine Sales Tax

Unlike other states, Maine does not consider the purchase of precious metals to be exempt from sales tax. The current state sales tax rate sits at 5 percent; however, there may be additional county or local taxes depending on where you buy. There have been several attempts to exempt these purchases from sales tax, but none have come to fruition.

Maine Capital Gains Tax

Maine, like all states, requires a federal capital gains tax. While your personal rate will depend on your income level, the highest possible rate is 28 percent.

Self-Directed IRA

A truly diversified portfolio includes precious metals, so when you're planning for retirement, consider adding qualified bullion to your Self Directed IRA. Contact us to get started or visit our Precious Metals IRA page to learn how you can invest.
