Buying Gold and Silver in Alberta

Gold was discovered in Alberta in the mid-1800s and while it may not be as well known for it’s gold as British Columbia or Yukon, there are still reasonable quantities of placer gold deposits to be found.

Hobbyist gold panning in Alberta’s rivers is popular and it’s these fine deposits of placer gold that are responsible for several mini gold rushes in the 1800’s.

Most precious metal bullion in Canada is exempt from GST/HST provided the precious metals are defined as bars, ingots, coins or wafers of gold, silver or platinum, refined to a minimum purity of 99.50% for gold and platinum, or 99.9% for silver.

Note that palladium products ARE subject to HST/GST.

For bullion and coins that fall outside of these purities, Alberta charges HST at 5% and there is no PST in Alberta on bullion.

Bullion and coins are liable to Capital Gains Tax within Alberta as they are across Canada, subject to Personal-Use Property exemptions. These Listed Personal Property (LPP) rules state that coins with a resale value and gain of $1000 or less are exempt from a capital gain.
