Gold Investment Guide for Canada

Digital Gold vs Physical Gold
In Canada, you can buy physical gold from local jewelers or digital gold through apps. Physical gold incurs making charges (8-25%), while digital gold is pure 24K investment with no making charges, stored in insured vaults.
Taxation on Gold
Gold jewelry purchases attract 3% GST. If you sell physical gold within 3 years, Short Term Capital Gains (STCG) tax applies. After 3 years, Long Term Capital Gains (LTCG) tax is applicable at 20% with indexation benefits.
Checklist Before Buying
1. Check the BIS Hallmark (Triangle + Purity + 6-digit code).
2. Compare Making Charges across jewelers in Canada.
3. Ensure the invoice includes the HUID code for buyback assurance.
