Gold has become a more desirable commodity based on recent history of financial institutions collapsing, countries going bankrupt, and the housing crisis almost bringing down our economy. You could buy gold at $500 dollars an ounce not that long ago, and now it is hovering near $1300 dollars an ounce. It has been quite a remarkable increase. Over the last few decades, gold has outperformed all other commodities, making it a worthwhile investment for anyone, not just the wealthy. Buying gold bullion or coins, is a transaction like any other in the market place, and taxes must be considered.
Under Connecticut tax laws and regulations, www.cga.ct.gov, a sales and use tax is imposed on any transactions under one thousand dollars. This means if you purchase gold or silver in currency, or bullion you only pay a sales tax if you transaction is worth less than a thousand dollars. This makes it ideal to purchase gold and silver in Connecticut. Even if you only buy a couple of hundred dollars worth of gold, it is still a great place to buy, as the state sales tax is relatively low. Across the state, Connecticut’s sales tax is 6.350%. There is no local sales tax. This exemption only applies to gold and silver, not all precious metals.
