Sales Tax Law:

According to the § 44-18-30, there is a sales tax exemption “from the sale and from the storage, use, or other consumption in this state of precious metal bullion.”
“Precious metal bullion” is defined as any elementary precious metal that has been put through a process of smelting or refining, including, but not limited to, gold, silver, platinum, rhodium, and chromium, and that is in a state or condition that its value depends upon its content and not upon its form.

NPMEX is required to collect tax on some items shipping to Rhode Island, however sales tax will not be charged for Gold, Silver, Platinum, or Palladium bullion items as they are exempt from sales tax when shipping to a Rhode Island address.

The State of Rhode Island requires the collection of taxes on certain products sold by NPMAX 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 NPMEX 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 or coin flips.
• Processed Items: Precious Metals that have been processed by third parties into items valued on more than their Precious Metal content, such as jewelry, statues or colorized coins.

Sales taxes in Rhode Island are calculated at checkout on the NPMEX website based on
(1) the taxability of products sold by NPMEX in Rhode Island set forth above, and
(2) the specific tax rates established by the taxing jurisdiction of the delivery address in Rhode Island.
