Silver and GST in Australia
Investment-grade silver (99.9% pure or better) is GST-free in Australia, just like investment gold. Minted silver bars from recognised refiners are stamped with their weight and fineness and meet that standard, so no GST is charged when you buy them from an Australian dealer. GST only applies to collectable, proof and numismatic pieces and to lower-purity silver.
When comparing silver bar prices, our table shows each dealer's current price, so the comparison is like for like. Some dealers add delivery and insurance charges at checkout, and these usually include GST, so check the final total before you buy.
Questions about minted silver bars
Do I pay GST on silver bars in Australia?
No. Silver bars of 99.9% purity or better are investment-grade silver, which is GST-free in Australia, just like investment gold. GST only applies to collectable, proof and numismatic pieces and to lower-purity silver, and usually to delivery charges.
Are silver bars cheaper than silver coins?
Generally yes. Silver bars typically carry a lower premium over spot than silver coins of the same weight. Coins often have a numismatic or collectible component that adds to the price. If your primary goal is to accumulate silver by weight at the lowest cost, bars are usually the better choice.
