- As of Jan. 1, Washington treats sales of precious metals and bullion as tangible personal property for sales tax and B&O tax.
- Retail sales of bullion are subject to retailing B&O tax and sales tax, which the seller must collect and remit.
- Wholesale buyers must provide a valid reseller permit to avoid sales tax; wholesale sales are subject to the wholesale B&O tax rate.
- Sales for other purposes (e.g., jewelry making, commissions) are taxed at the appropriate wholesale or retail rate based on the sale’s nature.
