Are Bullion Sales Taxed in British Columbia?

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, British Columbia charges HST at 12% (one of the highest in Canada) however there is no PST on bullion in British Columbia.

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