The lowest current premium on a 1 oz gold bar is 2.5% over A$6,109.19 spot. Generic bars from less-prominent refiners typically carry lower premiums than branded bars from names like PAMP or Valcambi, because buyers pay a smaller markup for packaging and branding.
-
A 1 troy ounce gold bar weighs exactly 1 oz, which is 31.1035 grams. The troy ounce used in precious metals is heavier than the avoirdupois ounce (28.35 g) used in everyday measurements, so a 1 oz gold bar is slightly heavier than 1 oz of, say, flour.
-
Generic 1 oz gold bars are 999.9 fine, meaning 99.99% pure gold (24 carat). This is the investment-grade standard for modern gold bars and qualifies as investment gold for tax purposes in the UK, US, Canada, and Australia.
-
In the UK, investment-grade gold bars are VAT-free, but gains on disposal are subject to Capital Gains Tax at 18% or 24% depending on your income, with a £3,000 annual allowance. In the US, reporting requirements vary by transaction size and dealer; gains are taxed at up to 28%. In Canada, 50% of any gain is included in taxable income. Consult a tax adviser for your specific situation.
