Illinois Precious Metals Sales Tax

How to Buy Gold in Illinois
→ 1. Complete KYC Verification: Create your GoldBuller account and verify your identity. Required for all bank wire orders. Illinois residents are eligible for same-day KYC approval.
→ 2. Choose Your Products: Most popular products among Illinois buyers: 10 oz Gold Bars, 1 oz Gold Bars (PAMP), American Silver Eagles, 100 oz Silver Bars.
→ 3. Pay by Bank Wire or Bitcoin: Send a domestic bank wire (same-day clearance) or pay with Bitcoin (60-minute price lock). Illinois's 1% reduced rate is effectively negligible — on a $3,000 order, the tax is $30 vs. $188 at the full rate. Wire payment saves far more than the tax costs.
