(Stefan Gleason, Money Metals News Service) Today, January 1st, New Jersey Senate Bill 721 went into effect — ending sales taxes on virtually all purchases of gold, silver, platinum, and palladium.
This sales tax exemption was enacted thanks to Money Metals’ in-house public policy project advocating for laws that protect precious metals investors, the Sound Money Defense League — as well as Money Metals’ customers in New Jersey who contacted their legislators during key moments, purchases of precious metals are now tax-free statewide, with some restrictions.
The only kinds of things that still get taxed are high-premium coins, such as Proof 1/10th oz American Gold Eagles, and similar items that are sold for less than $1,000.
Money Metals worked for multiple years to successfully remove this tax imposed on Garden State investors. Only five states still fully tax precious metals purchases: Maine, New Mexico, Vermont, Hawaii, and Kentucky.
We intend to double our efforts in these states to eliminate the scourge of sales taxation from the country entirely.
New Jersey was one of seven states that passed pro- gold and silver legislation in 2024.
We’re not done yet. In 2025, we intend to secure even more wins for precious metals across the country.

Thank you for your business and support. I wish you and your family blessings in 2025.
