Question

Am I liable to pay tax for any capital gains when I sell my gold?

Answer

Yes, if you are liable to pay taxes in Finland. In other cases, you should consult your local tax authorities for the answer.

When you sell investment grade gold, you might gain or lose by it. Under Finnish tax regulations, these are to be filed in as capital gains or losses, which fall under the category of capital income tax.
