Sales Tax in Rhode Island

The State of Rhode Island requires the collection of sales taxes on certain products sold by Provident Metals and delivered to a Rhode Island address.

These taxes must be collected on (1) copper products; (2) bullion products that are not melted or refined; (3) accessory items; and (4) processed items. All other products sold by Provident Metals are exempt from these taxes.

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

  • Bullion. Precious metal that is valued solely upon its precious metal content, whether in coin or ingot form.
  • 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 Rhode Island are calculated at checkout on the Provident Metals website based on (1) the taxability of products sold by Provident Metals in Rhode Island set forth above, and (2) the specific tax rates established by the taxing jurisdiction of the delivery address in Rhode Island. Our sales tax license number in Rhode Island is 2-0952-9537.
