When you buy bullion in Alabama: investment-grade bullion is exempt from state sales tax. The exemption typically covers gold, silver, platinum, and palladium meeting standard investment-grade purity. Verify the exemption applies to your specific purchase — definitions and minimum-purity thresholds vary by statute.
When you sell or otherwise realize a gain: capital gains on bullion are taxed as ordinary income at Alabama’s state-tax rates, stacked on top of the federal 28% collectibles rate. This is a real drag on long-term holdings — consult a CPA before realizing a major position.
Mostly standard taxation; one carve-out worth knowing about. Confirm it covers your specific purchase before relying on it.
