Why buy platinum?
Rare precious metal: Platinum is scarcer than gold or silver and is mined on average 30 times less than gold per year.
Corrosion resistant: Thanks to its high resistance to oxidation or corrosion, platinum is extremely suitable for high-tech applications.
Industrial applications: A large part of the global demand for platinum comes from applications in catalytic converters for cars, in the medical sector (implants), electronics and hydrogen technology.
Alternative to gold: Platinum is not only an investment for your portfolio, but also a popular precious metal for luxury jewellery.
Physical ownership: You are the 100% owner of real platinum, not paper claims such as ETFs.
GoldRepublic only works with internationally recognised producers of platinum bars with Good Delivery status. Each bar has a minimum purity of 99.5% and a unique serial number and goes directly from the smelter to the vault.
Independent audits guarantee that the quantity and purity of your platinum always correspond to your holdings. Your investment is globally tradable and meets the strictest quality standards.
You do not need to physically take possession of the platinum bars you purchase through GoldRepublic. The bars remain your legal property, but are stored securely and insured in high-security vaults in Zurich (Switzerland).
The GoldRepublic website provides you with daily insight into the bar lists of these custodians, including the bar numbers of the bars stored in the vaults and the total amount of platinum held by all customers combined. You will receive a daily email with your proof of ownership and current bar number(s).
Thanks to annual independent audits, you are guaranteed the presence of your platinum. These audits confirm that the platinum you have purchased is actually in the vaults and that GoldRepublic's records are complete and accurate. You can view these audit reports yourself on our website.
Your platinum is insured against loss, damage and theft. You do not have to pay extra for this; the insurance is already included in the storage costs you pay each month.
Buying gold can be a wise choice, especially in times of economic uncertainty or inflation. Historically, gold has retained its value well and offers protection against declining currency purchasing power. In addition, physical gold is a tangible asset that you can keep outside the financial system...
At GoldRepublic, you can buy whole gold bars or become a co-owner of a bar. If you become a co-owner, you pay NO bar reservation fees and you may be allocated anew bar every day. Legally, this makes no difference. You are still the(co-)owner of physical gold. The gold is delivered to you. You still know which bar you own (based on the bar number). Only in the event that, due to extreme circumstances, GoldRepublic is no longer able to provide its services, will you have to agree with the co-owners on what to do with the bar (sell or melt it down). If you reserve your own bar, this is not the case.
Yes, investment gold is exempt from VAT in the United Kingdom and throughout the European Union. This exemption applies to gold bars with a purity of at least99.5% (24 carats). All gold bars you purchase through GoldRepublic must meet these conditions and are therefore exempt from VAT.
In the Netherlands, you must declare physical gold that you own as assets in box 3 of your tax return. The reference date used for this is 1 January of the tax year for which you are filing your return. This means you declare the value of your gold on 1 January, based on the gold price on that day. However, always check with your tax adviser to see what applies to your personal situation.
