Common questions from Australia buyers
Does the GST exemption apply to all gold?+
Only to investment-grade: gold ≥99.5%, silver ≥99.9%, platinum ≥99%. The American Gold Eagle and South African Krugerrand are 22-karat (.9167) — they do NOT qualify for the GST carve-out.
What is the 50% CGT discount on Australian gold?+
Private investors holding gold for more than 12 months pay capital gains tax on only 50% of the realized gain. This makes long-term gold holding particularly tax-efficient for Australian residents.
