Before we begin, the following information covers aspects of investor privacy, not an investor's responsibility to pay income tax gains on any profits made from the purchase and sale of investment grade bullion products. For tax questions, please seek professional tax consul.
We know investor privacy is very important to physical silver and gold purchasers and confidentiality is one of the values we covet most along with our customers.
For some bullion investors, ensuring themselves a private sale is their most important objective and we understand the myriad of reasons as to why this is so.
That being said, we must always adhere to the rules of our industry.
Being a bullion dealer, we are often asked by customers questions like…
- Are my transactions private?
- When I sell my gold bullion or silver bullion, is it a private transaction, or is it reported to the IRS?
First, when a customer buys from our dealership, the transaction is private.
We have specifically designated the current payment method options on our website so that investors who buy bullion from us, do so in confidentiality.
Secondly, when an investor sells their gold bullion or silver bullion to a dealer like us, some of these trades are private while some are not.
Depending upon what you are selling will depend upon whether we as a bullion dealer are required to fill out something called an IRS 1099-B Form.
