保護您的貨幣銷售免稅

只有少數州沒有對書籍上的硬幣和金條豁免營業稅，但是隨著馬里蘭州州的行動，數字增加了

A small number of states still have sales tax exemption for coins and bullion, but that number is quickly diminishing. The good news is that the rapid action of Whitman Expos and Baltimore Convention Center lobbyists will keep the exemption in place for events at that facility.

少數州仍然對硬幣和金條有銷售免稅，但這個數字迅速減少。好消息是，惠特曼博覽會和巴爾的摩會議中心遊說者的迅速行動將使該設施的活動予以豁免。

This could be a very big step in protecting against a total loss of business. It could also be the place to start to get the exemption back on the books later.

這可能是防止全部業務損失的重要一步。這也可能是稍後開始將豁免重新獲得豁免的地方。

The newsy item in the April 28, 2025 issue of Coin World regarding the Maryland state legislature's action on a state sales tax exemption for coins and bullion began with this sentence: "Bad news arrived this week with news that the Maryland state legislature voted to eliminate the sales tax exemption for coins and bullion."

在2025年4月28日發行的硬幣世界中，有關馬里蘭州立法機關對硬幣銷售免稅和金條的行動的新聞項目始於這一判決：“本週的壞消息與馬里蘭州州立法機關一起投票消除了對硬幣和小塊的銷售免稅的消息。”

It is still pending the governor’s signature, but a veto doesn’t seem to be the place to bet the farm. Assuming it takes effect July 1, it could have far-reaching impact in a lot of places.

它仍在等待州長的簽名，但否決權似乎並不是下注農場的地方。假設它於7月1日生效，則可能在許多地方產生深遠的影響。

This is happening in Maryland, but it could happen to you. There is no guarantee that the exemption you’re currently enjoying will last forever. Elections come, officeholders change, budgetary mindsets get altered and government officials start looking for places where they imagine they can either stop losing money or start making more.

這在馬里蘭州發生了，但可能發生在您身上。不能保證您目前享受的豁免將永遠持續下去。選舉來了，辦公室持有人會發生變化，預算思維方式正在改變，政府官員開始尋找他們認為他們可以停止虧損或開始賺更多賺錢的地方。

Just as lawmakers rally support among their peers for their viewpoints, so too can the numismatic community. That’s why the National Coin & Bullion Association has what it calls the “Concerned Collectors Coalition.” The membership tier is specifically created for those who do not make their primary living in numismatics. (If you do, there are other membership levels for you.) It costs absolutely nothing to be a member of the Concerned Collectors Coalition, and you even get a certificate suitable for framing. (In the interest of full disclosure, I am a member, but I haven’t bought a frame for my certificate). This membership at the grassroots level helps keep the interest of the collector on a par with the interests of the businesses. We all share the goal of moving numismatics forward and increasing the benefit of the experience.

正如議員們在同齡人之間集會的觀點一樣，錢幣社區也是如此。這就是為什麼國家硬幣與金條協會擁有所謂的“相關收藏家聯盟”的原因。會員層是專門為那些不在數值中居住的人而創建的。 （如果這樣做，您還有其他會員資格。）成為有關收藏家聯盟的成員，您甚至獲得了適合框架的證書。 （為了充分披露，我是會員，但我還沒有為證書購買框架）。基層的這種成員資格有助於使收藏家的興趣與企業的利益相提並論。我們所有人都分享了推動幣種前進並增加體驗利益的目標。

It’s incumbent on each of us to do our respective part and not expect others to do what we can do. The NCBA has to play offense, helping get the positive messages of the exemption to places that haven’t grasped the message, and defense, trying to stop actions like repeals. Success comes through consistent effort. Every little bit helps. It may be too late for Maryland (for now), but it’s never too late to make sure it doesn’t happen to you. The NCBA can help, but we all need to do our part to assist in the effort.

我們每個人都有責任做我們各自的部分，而不希望別人做我們能做的。 NCBA必須扮演進攻，有助於獲得豁免的積極信息，向尚未掌握信息的地方以及防禦，試圖停止諸如廢除之類的行動。成功是通過一致的努力來實現的。每一點都有幫助。對於馬里蘭州來說，這可能為時已晚，但現在確保您不會發生的事情永遠不會太晚。 NCBA可以提供幫助，但我們所有人都需要盡我們所能來協助努力。
