Amends existing law to provide that capital gains and losses on precious metals bullion and monetized bullion sales be added to or subtracted from Idaho taxable income under certain circumstances.

INCOME TAXATION -- Amends existing law to provide that capital gains and losses on precious metals bullion and monetized bullion sales be added to or subtracted from Idaho taxable income under certain circumstances.

INCOME TAXATION

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

The framers of our nation established that gold and silver are money, but federal taxing authorities in recent decades have required taxpayers to report nominal capital "gains" and "losses" when exchanging this form of money for Federal Reserve Notes. Idaho already exempts precious metals sales from the sales tax. This bill will exempt the sale of precious metals bullion from being subject to capital gains.
