Wyoming Sales Tax on Gold and Silver
CHECKED 2026-10-28. NOT TAX ADVICE.
Wyoming does not charge sales tax on gold and silver coins, but plain bars may be taxed.
Gold and silver specie and specie legal tender are exempt; specie is coin with gold or silver content or refined bullion coined, stamped or imprinted with its weight and purity. Bars not stamped that way count as ordinary property and are taxed, and platinum, palladium, medallions, tokens and jewelry are taxed. I could not open the Wyoming statutes or Department of Revenue pages, so this relies on a compiled guide.
General state sales tax rate: 4%. Wyoming Legal Tender Act (HB 103), effective July 1, 2018; W.S. 39-15-101(a)(xxxi), 9-4-1302.

Under IRS Form 1099-B instructions, a sale of precious metals in a form and quantity that matches a CFTC-approved futures contract (for example, at least 25 gold coins of a covered type) can require the broker or dealer to report it; a single coin sale does not, and sales to the same customer within 24 hours are added together. irs.gov
