Collectibles Capital Gains Rate
Gold IRA Glossary
The tax rate that applies to long-term gains on collectibles, including physical gold and silver held outside a retirement account, capped at 28% rather than the usual long-term capital gains rates. The rate is one reason some investors prefer holding metals inside an IRA, where normal IRA tax treatment applies instead. Short-term gains on metals are taxed as ordinary income either way.
