Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Australian dollar affect gold prices?
As a commodity currency, the AUD often moves with gold prices. When gold rises, the AUD tends to strengthen against the USD, which can partially offset gold gains for Australian investors.
Is gold GST-free in Australia?
Yes, investment gold is GST-free in Australia under the A New Tax System (Goods and Services Tax) Act 1999. This applies to gold bars and coins with a purity of at least 99.5% that are traded at or near their precious metal value. Silver and platinum bullion are also GST-free if they meet equivalent purity requirements.
What is the Perth Mint?
The Perth Mint is Australia's official bullion mint and one of the world's largest gold refiners. Established in 1899 and owned by the Government of Western Australia, it produces the Gold Kangaroo coin series, refines gold for the mining industry, and offers storage and certificate programs for investors globally. It is accredited as an LBMA Good Delivery refiner.
Can I hold gold in my superannuation?
Yes, Self-Managed Superannuation Funds (SMSFs) can hold physical gold as an investment, provided it meets minimum purity standards (99.5%) and is stored in an approved depository. SMSFs can also invest in gold ETFs listed on the ASX. Gold gains within super are taxed at 15% in accumulation phase and can be tax-free in pension phase.
