Hi There,

Yes, Investment gold is tax free when it comes to VAT, but many seems to
forget the capital gains tax, which applies in most EU countries.

Over here, Tax auth are looking into regular traders, who buy and sell a
lot (paper gold that is), but all that is registered.

When it comes to physical, They have no clue, no registrations, and thus
no capital gains either.

So, stay physical, :-)

Tim
