SB 6266: Bullion and metal tax
Concerning the excise taxation of bullion and rare earth metals.
Summary
- The B&O tax does not apply to the melting and reforming of precious metal bullion. The sale of precious metal bullion and monetized bullion is presumed to be for investment purposes, so the sale of such is only taxed on amounts over and above market price.
