Gold bar

Investing in physical assets like gold bars has long been a popular strategy for diversifying portfolios across the European continent. The appeal of tangible investments stems from their potential to serve as hedges against economic instability and currency fluctuations, offering stability during uncertain times.

Gold is often regarded as a ‘safe haven’ asset due to its intrinsic value that remains unaffected by the financial health or policies of any single country. This makes gold bars an attractive option for European investors seeking long-term wealth preservation and protection against inflationary pressures.

In Europe, each nation has distinct laws governing investment in precious metals like gold; however, it’s important to note that several countries offer tax advantages on certain forms of physical gold ownership. For instance:

• In Austria, Switzerland and Germany (among others), there is no Value Added Tax (VAT) or sales tax levied on the purchase of investment-grade gold bars with a purity level above 995/1000 fineness.
• Similarly, in Luxembourg, capital gains from selling physical gold are exempt if held for over five years; there’s also no wealth tax or VAT on the purchase of such assets.

These favorable conditions make European countries prime locations to invest in gold bars without worrying about immediate tax implications upon acquisition and holding periods, as long as they meet specific criteria set by local laws.
