The State of Florida requires the collection of sales taxes on certain products sold by BullionMax and delivered to an address in Florida. These taxes must be collected on (1) coins or currency of the United States if such coins or currency are not legal tender of the United States at the time of the sale of such coins or currency unless the aggregate sales price of such coins or currency exceeds $500 in a single sales transaction; (2) any coins or currency that are not legal tender in any country unless the aggregate sales price of such coins or currency exceeds $500 in a single sales transaction; (3) any coins or currency of any country, other than the United States, that are legal tender but are sold for a price that exceeds their current exchange rate, unless the aggregate sales price of such coins or currency exceeds $500 in a single sales transaction; (4) any coins or currency that are legal tender of any country, other than the United States, that do not have a face value, unless the aggregate sales price of such coins or currency exceeds $500 in a single sales transaction; (5) bullion, defined as gold, silver, or platinum in the form of bars, ingots, or plates, normally sold by weight unless the total sales price for such bullion in a single sales transaction exceeds $500; (6) palladium or copper in the form of bars, ingots or plates, regardless of the dollar amount of the transaction; (7) accessory items; and (8) processed items. All other products sold by BullionMax are exempt from these taxes.
