Reporting rules vary by country. In the UK, you do not need to report a purchase, but you must report a disposal that results in a gain above the £3,000 annual CGT allowance. In Australia, the ATO treats gold bullion as an asset; gains are assessable income when you sell. In the US, dealers report certain large cash transactions, and capital gains on gold are taxable. Keep purchase records regardless of where you are based.
