The State of Alabama requires the collection of a flat-rate Simplified Sellers Use Tax of 8% on certain products sold by BGASC and delivered to an Alabama address.  These taxes must be collected on (1) copper products; (2) numismatic coins; (3) accessory items; and (4) processed items.  All other products sold by BGASC are exempt from these taxes.

The following definitions apply to products on which taxes must be collected in Alabama:

• Numismatic Coins.  Coins which have an external value above and beyond the base value of the underlying precious metal, due to the item’s rarity, condition, age, or other external factor.
• Accessory Items.  Items such as holders, tubes, coin flips, and apparel.
• Processed Items.  Precious metals that have been processed by third parties into items that are valued on more than their precious metal content, such as statues or colorized coins.

As required by Alabama law (Rule 810-6-2-.90.02 Simplified Sellers Use Tax Remittance Program), BGASC is required to notify its Alabama customers of the following:

BGASC has collected the simplified sellers use tax on certain transactions delivered into Alabama and the tax will be remitted on the customer’s behalf to the Alabama Department of Revenue.

Use taxes in Alabama are calculated at checkout on the BGASC website based on (1) the taxability of products sold by BGASC in Alabama set forth above, and (2) the Alabama Simplified Sellers Use Tax rate of 8%. Our program account license number in Alabama is SSU-R010188305.
