Rules and Regulations for the State of Idaho

Sales Tax Law:

Idaho Statute 63-3622V, “the sale of precious metal bullion or the sale of monetized bullion,” is exempt from sales taxation.

The statute defines “precious metal bullion” as “any elementary precious metal which has been put through a process of smelting or refining including, but not limited to, gold, silver, platinum, rhodium,
and chromium, and which is in such state or condition that its value depends upon its contents and not upon its form.”

“Monetized bullion” is defined as “coins or other forms of money manufactured from gold, silver, or other metals and heretofore, now, or hereafter used as a medium of exchange under the laws of this state, the United States, or any foreign nation, but shall not include coins or money sold to be manufactured into jewelry or works of art.”
NPMEX is required to collect tax on some items shipping to Idaho, 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 an Idaho address.

processed items. All other products sold by NPMEX are exempt from these taxes.
