Whether it is bars, rounds, or coins that strike your fancy, you are probably aware that buying bullion is far from your average purchase. For one, there are numerous state and federal laws and taxes involved.
If you are considering purchasing bullion for yourself, it can pay to get ahead of the game by researching what to expect and the processes involved in purchasing or selling gold and silver in Massachusetts.
Without further ado, here are some of the common taxes associated with bullion transactions in the Bay State.
The state of Massachusetts allows gold and silver bullion purchases to be tax-free so long as the total sales is more than $1,000. If the purchase is under this amount, the bullion purchased will be subject to a 6.25% state sales tax. Local city or county taxes may also apply.
As with all other states, Massachusetts bullion transactions are subject to a federal capital gains tax. Your tax percentage will depend on your income level; however, the total percentage will not exceed 28 percent.
