Does Connecticut charge sales tax on gold and silver?

Sometimes. Connecticut exempts sales of gold or silver bullion and legal-tender coins when the sale totals $1,000 or more; below that, the 6.35% sales tax applies.

• Rate: 6.35%
• Exemption threshold: $1,000
• Legislation is scheduled to remove the $1,000 threshold effective July 1, 2027, making the exemption total-independent.
• The $1,000 threshold is scheduled for removal on July 1, 2027 under legislation enacted in 2025.
