Different types of sell orders

When you sell platinum through GoldRepublic, you can choose from different types of sell orders:

  • Market order: With a market order, you sell your platinum immediately at the current market price. The transaction is executed immediately at the best available price at that moment. This is the fastest way to sell your platinum.
  • Limit order: With a limit order, you determine the minimum price at which you want to sell. The sale only takes place once the platinum price reaches or exceeds the limit you have set. This allows you to retain complete control over when you sell.
  • Order based on amount: You can also place an order based on a desired amount of money. Our platform automatically calculates how much platinum needs to be sold to achieve this, based on the current platinum price.
  • Order based on bar volume: Would you like to sell a specific number of platinum bars or an exact weight? Then simply choose an order based on volume.

How is the selling price of platinum determined?

Are you selling your platinum back to GoldRepublic? Then you will receive the current platinum bid price, which is slightly lower than the market price.

You pay 1% transaction costs on the sale of your platinum. This amount is automatically deducted, after which the remaining amount is credited to your GoldRepublic account. You can reinvest this in other precious metals or have it paid out directly to your contra account at your bank.

How is the selling price of platinum determined?

The selling price of platinum continuously follows the international platinum market. This fluctuates with supply and demand, which are strongly influenced by industrial and economic developments. At GoldRepublic, we always use completely transparent pricing, so that you receive a fair and current price.

As with gold and silver, there is a difference between the purchase price and the selling price of platinum; this is known as the spread. This is caused by:

  • The margin between purchase and selling prices
  • The price risk that occurs between the time of purchase and sale. This is due to the price that smelters offer for the repurchase of platinum.

As a result, you receive slightly less than the current price when you sell, and you pay slightly more when you buy.

Frequently asked questions

Is buying gold a wise choice?

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...

What should I look out for when buying physical gold?

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.

Are gold bars exempt from VAT?

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.

Do I have to declare gold as an asset to the tax authorities?

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.
