The rule, as Vermont writes it
Vermont taxes bullion. Its sales tax exemption list at 32 V.S.A. §9741 runs to dozens of categories and does not mention bullion, precious metals or investment coins anywhere. Exemption bills have been introduced — H.295 in the 2023–24 session among them — and none has been enacted, so results describing Vermont bullion as exempt are describing a bill.
The state rate is 6%. Local rates are charged on top of it and are not included here.

What this page cannot tell you
Whether tax is actually charged depends on the dealer, not only on where you live: a retailer collects sales tax in states where they have nexus.
Local city and county rates stack on top of any state rate shown here, and several exemptions cover investment bullion but not jewellery or collectibles sold well above melt.
