Why sell your gold in Switzerland?
The advantage of selling or buying gold in Switzerland is that it is not subject to VAT.
However, ingots are subject to the conditions of the MLA law, which requires the beneficial owner and the contracting party to be identified.
Cash payments are possible up to CHF 15,000.
When to sell gold bullion
Choosing when to sell gold is a complicated topic. Many factors exert an influence on the price of gold: the market environment, inflation, supply and demand, real interest rates, the geopolitical situation, etc. You can, however, study charts that depict real-time data and take a look at price history over recent months and even years.
Of course, it is best to sell when the price is high, giving you the best price possible. Our website shows the indicative live price of gold. Contact GFI specialists for their opinion on +32 (0)2 513 9240.
What is the price of a kilo of gold?
The sale price depends on the gold spot price (i.e. the price for a troy ounce of gold in US dollars), at the time of sale. The spot price is the benchmark for pricing gold. It is the same all around the world and is expressed in US dollars (so, it changes according to foreign exchange rates). You can check out indicative prices on our website.
You will also have to consider the premium, which varies according to bullion size. The premium on a kilo gold bar is the lowest. The smaller the bullion, the higher the premium. The prices displayed on our website include that premium.
