Gold, silver and platinum products of these purities and above are exempt from HST/GST. Note that palladium products ARE subject to HST/GST.

Bullion coins and bars are liable to Capital Gains Tax at 50% of the owners’ tax rate – however it should be noted that any coin that was purchased for under $1000 and also sold for under $1000 comes under Listed Personal Property (LPP) rules – and under Canadian tax law, personal possessions (Personal Use Property) with an adjusted cost base and proceeds of disposition of $1000 or below are not liable for a Capital Gain or Capital Loss.
