At a Glance: Taxable Precious Metal Products in Wisconsin

Wisconsin recently passed a new law to provide sales tax exemptions for most precious metals in the state. Some precious metal products are still subject to sales tax collection when shipped to addresses in Wisconsin. Taxable products in Wisconsin include: 

    • Low Purity Bullion (Below 35%).
    • Accessories.
