Gold calculator: metal value by weight and purity

Simplified classification for private sales of physical gold: gains after more than one year are generally exempt. For shorter holding periods, the exemption requires total annual gains from all private disposal transactions to remain below €1,000. At €1,000 or more, the full gain is generally subject to your personal income tax rate. VAT exemption applies only to qualifying investment gold, not all jewelry or scrap gold. § 23 EStG · § 25c UStG
