Have a few questions?
We’ve provided answers to some of the most common questions you may have about purchasing precious metals.
Where can I buy and sell precious metals?
Expand How are precious metals priced?
We offer competitive pricing of precious metals that is driven by market rates and is quoted in US dollars. You have the option of paying for your precious metals in US dollars or in Canadian dollars. Current foreign exchange rates will apply.1 Payments can be made through your TD Canada Trust or TD Wealth account.
Expand Do taxes apply to precious metals?
You will be required to claim a capital gain or capital loss if you decide to sell your precious metals back to TD Canada Trust. At that point, you will be issued a T5008 and/or RL18, based on your residency. You will be required to calculate and claim the capital gain or capital loss earned from the sale of your precious metals on your annual tax return.
Expand What is the difference between owning coins or bullion and owning precious metals certificates?
Having possession of the physical precious metal (bullion and coins) is a great option if you would like to tangibly see and handle your investment. There are no requirements for transfer of ownership, so bullion and coins can easily be passed on to friends and family or gifted for a special occasion.
Certificates can be easier to store and may provide a cost-effective alternative to holding large volumes of precious metals. All certificates are fully backed by TD Bank, a trusted financial institution. They can only be redeemed by the customer whose name is on the certificate. Transfer of ownership would require the customer to visit a TD Canada Trust branch or ask their TD Wealth Advisor to reissue the certificate in the alternate name.
1 Additional shipping, commission and taxes may apply at the time of purchase. Safekeeping charges apply on all certificates and are charged in US$ on an annual basis.
