Finally, after you’ve completed your purchase please add to our Alberta gold dealer reviews, by rating and reviewing your chosen company above – this will help future investors best select an Alberta gold dealer suited to their needs.

Are Bullion Sales Taxed in Alberta?

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.
