If you sell at a profit, capital-gains tax may apply depending on your personal situation and whether the metal is considered a collectible or investment. Record your purchase price, date and any associated fees. For personalized advice, speak with a tax professional familiar with BC rules.

What Drives Silver Prices in Maple Ridge

- Canadian dollar: Because spot is often quoted in USD, a weaker loonie increases the CAD price of imported silver.
- Dealer premium: The markup over spot covers manufacturing, distribution and profit. Premiums vary by product, brand and dealer.
- Local demand: High demand in Maple Ridge or BC can tighten supply and push premiums higher, especially during market volatility.
