ARTICLE 15. CONSUMERS SALES AND SERVICE TAX.

§11-15-9o. Exemption for precious metals.

            (a) The sale of precious metals is exempted from the taxes imposed by this article if:

            (1) The sales price is $5,000 or more; and

            (2) The purchase is for investment purposes.

            (b) As used in this section, "precious metal" means gold, silver, platinum or other valuable metal.
