Hi I am really keen on getting a few silver panda 2015 coins from a reliable source/dealer. I am aware that all the dealers are waiting on the conclusion from the government in relation to the gst application. Does anyone have any updates in regards to the process or possibly a date when this will take place? Also has anyone within Australia bought any 2015 silver pandas? If so where from please?
I haven't heard anything about the GST ruling on 2015 pandas, but Bullion Monay in Sydney have them advertised here: https://bullionmoney.com.au/products/1oz-2015-chinese-silver-panda-coin#
I did see this about a week ago but it was advertised as a 'pre-order' so I assumed they were in the same boat as all the other dealers. It seems as though they're available now. I will give them a call tomorrow. Thanks for the help.
GS also has them in stock now. http://www.goldstackers.com.au/store/china-mint-1oz-silver-panda-2015.html
You know.......when I started stacking in early days, Pandas were sought after. After time goes by, I hardly seen any pandas sales here (Only fews recently). No more love on pandas? I am not even sure whether to get 2015s. my pandas collection perhaps ended in 2014
Our initial discussions with the ATO seem to indicate that 2015 pandas would not be subject to GST. There is an open question about what happens if a rumoured change in weight for 2016 occurs. This might make 2015 pandas retrospectively subject to GST. Who knows? For now though we appear that we are good to go. Of course always seek uour own tax advice.
