The rule, in plain English
Oregon has no state sales tax, so no sales tax is charged on bullion, coins or anything else shipped to Oregon.
What counts: Not applicable (no general sales tax).
Still taxed: Nothing under a sales tax. Oregon's narrow vehicle use and privilege taxes and the Corporate Activity Tax do not apply to a consumer's bullion purchase.
What you would pay: three Oregon examples
| Purchase delivered to Oregon | Sales tax |
|---|---|
| Silver coins, $500 | $0 no state sales tax |
| Gold coins, $5,000 | $0 no state sales tax |
| A gold necklace, $1,000 | $0 no state sales tax |

Selling gold in Oregon
Selling gold to a dealer is not a retail purchase, so no sales tax applies. A profit is a capital gain: the IRS taxes gains on gold and silver bullion as collectibles, at up to 28% when held more than a year. Oregon taxes the gain as ordinary income (top rate 9.9% in 2026).
Dealers have to report some larger sales to the IRS on Form 1099-B; keep your purchase receipts to show your cost.
We buy bullion at our counter at 20 West 47th Street in New York: walk in with a photo ID and we pay by same-day check. How selling to us works
Local taxes
No general local sales taxes. A few cities tax prepared food and meals (for example Ashland), which does not apply to bullion.
