Tax when you sell gold in Summerside

When you sell, the CRA usually treats a profit on bullion held as an investment as a capital gain: half of the gain is added to your income and taxed at your federal and provincial rates (the 2024 proposal to raise the inclusion rate to two-thirds was cancelled in March 2025). Frequent trading can make profits fully taxable business income. The provincial part of your income tax is Prince Edward Island's, at your provincial marginal rate. Sales tax does not apply when you sell bullion to a dealer.
