Silver and GST in Australia
Unlike gold, silver bullion is not exempt from GST in Australia. The 10% GST is included in the price you pay at the dealer. This means your effective cost is approximately 9.1% higher than the pre-tax silver spot value, which is an important factor when comparing the cost of silver ownership against gold.
When comparing silver bar prices, our table shows the final GST-inclusive price from each dealer, which is the actual amount you will pay. There are no hidden additions: the price shown is the price you pay.
