Buying Gold: A Quick Guide
Buying gold is more accessible than many people think. You can choose between gold coins (such as the Krugerrand, Maple Leaf, or Philharmoniker) and gold bars (ranging from 1 gram to 1 kilogram). Investment gold is exempt from VAT in Belgium, which means you retain the full value of your gold.
Coins or Bars?
Small coins and bars are easy to sell; large bars typically have the lowest premium over the gold price. For those just starting out, a 1-ounce coin or a bar weighing 10 to 50 grams is a logical choice.
