The State of Louisiana mandates the imposition of sales taxes on certain items sold by Registry Coins and shipped to a Louisiana address. It is imperative to collect these taxes on (1) bullion products made of palladium or copper; (2) any coins made of copper or palladium, unless such coins are also numismatic coins; (3) any single sales transaction of numismatic coins if the total sale value is greater than $1,000; (4) accessory items; and (5) processed items.

The ensuing definitions pertain to products subject to tax collection in Louisiana:

Bullion. Gold, silver, platinum, palladium, or a blend of these metals in the form of bars, ingots, or commemorative medallions, whose worth is determined by their metal content rather than their physical shape.

Coins. A coin made of gold, silver, or other metal which is or has been used as legal tender.

Numismatic Coins. Coins that possess an added external worth surpassing the intrinsic value of the precious metal they contain, attributed to factors such as rarity, condition, age, or other external influences.

Single Sales Transaction. Determined per invoice, and not on a line-item basis.

Accessory Items. Items such as holders, tubes, coin flips, and apparel.

Processed Items. Refined precious metals transformed by third parties into objects esteemed for qualities beyond their metal value, such as colorized coins or statues.

Sales taxes in Louisiana are calculated at checkout on the Registry Coins website based on (1) the taxation status of items vended by Registry Coins in Louisiana as delineated earlier, and (2) the particular tax rates set by the taxing jurisdiction at the delivery location in Louisiana.
