    Shep reacted to dicker in Car Trader starting to invest in Gold   
    I believe that there was a post from another car dealer perhaps a couple of years ago who was also equally horrified about having to prove his identity when paying cash…
    I replied on that thread that you have nothing to fear if you are paying all of the tax that should be paid…  Why not simply bank the cash and pay by wire.  You can get a 1kg of gold delivered within 24 hours for around 2.5pct over spot.
    It’s that simple.

    1953 Elizabeth II Gold Proof South Africa 2 coin Set

    Beautiful Mary Gillick portrait in proof and exceptional grades given they are 70 years old.
    Available as a set at £1050 to include the original South Africa Mint presentation case or priced individually. 
    1953 Elizabeth II Gold Proof South Africa Pound NGC PF66 Cameo £700 Now £650
    1953 Elizabeth II Gold Proof South Africa Pound NGC PF68 Top Population £500 Now £475
    Gillick portrait Sovereigns in high grade (MS66 and above) are currently realising four figure sums despite the mintages being in the many millions.  
     
    These extremely high grade South Africa coins allow a fantastic opportunity to acquire the same Gillick Portrait in a Proof finish (4k mintage) at a reasonable price- the Half Pound is top NGC population.

    Shep reacted to AndrewSL76 in PCGS   
    Evening.
    I am preparing to send a consignment to PCGS. Probably around week of 14 August. Mainly London half sovereigns (period of 1887-1915) but also some full sovs and a few larger coins. If anyone is interested in submitting please let me know. Gold only at this stage. Unless you have a lot of silver or other and per coin it would make sense for you. 
    This isn’t something that I usually do but on this occasion I thought I would offer this as it may make financial sense for some people give the number of coins I am sending there and the FedEx costs. 
    It would be a costs only submission so no money earned on my part aside from the overall reduction in costs of submitting given the forms and postage point. So I won’t charge anyone a penny for this but of course it reduces how much I pay for postage given the shared costs.
    #coinunism. 
    PM if interested.
    Cheers.

    Shep reacted to goldlips in really wish chards would take credit cards   
    chards, you clearly do not want me as your customer, nor want  to deal with me.
     
    i have spent £2k at your competitors, all willing to accept my plastic.
     
    one of my credit cards give me 1% cash back (getting me back £20 on my 2k spend) this card also gives me up to 56 days to pay for my purchase.
     
    i understand you have to pay fees to take credit cards, but this is simply a cost of doing buisness, maybe in time you will responder your position, as i will not deal with any business that does not want me as a customer based on what payment option i choose to use.

    Shep reacted to sixgun in Tax definition of trading   
    There are clearly some members on TSF who are traders. They are always buying and selling. Some will turn over £100's of thousands a year. It is not for me to suggest who any of them might be.
    Then there is the rest of us. We sell bits and pieces - we might buy a few coins, sell a few coins - chop and change our collection. Now i am not in either group as i haven't sold any of my own coins here - whenever i have sold i have sold on behalf of someone else, a friend or relative. This is not me subtly suggesting i always post that before a sale so that no-one could accuse me of selling coins, it happens to be the truth but it might be something for people to think about. Selling on behalf of wives, brothers, sisters, children, friends, the school lollypop lady (if they still exist) - i mean you could potentially sell for lots of people.
    You are selling your personal possessions - your coins and bars. They are like children to me and sometimes they feel more valuable. 
    Your personal possessions are chattels - they are not goods - they are not property relating to commerce - they are personal property and hence defined as chattels. HMRC likes to maneuver you into commerce - they like to tax you accordingly. i have covered chattels before on the forum b/c there seem to be many members who imagine they are in commerce when they are not.

    Guidance Chattels and Capital Gains Tax 2021 (HS293) Updated 6 April 2023
    This is from 2021 but updated this year.
    What does it say?
    What are chattels? - 'The word ‘chattel’ is a legal term meaning an item of tangible, movable property – something you can both touch and move. Your personal possessions will normally be chattels.'
    Well my coins and bars belong to me - they are my personal possessions and i can touch them as long as i wear cotton gloves. 

    Reading down the page it says: 'You only need to include in your tax return any gain on the disposal of a chattel where the disposal proceeds were more than £6,000 and the chattel is not exempt from Capital Gains Tax. '
    So you don't mention coins exempt from CGT - and i will assume every coin you sell is exempt - i mean let's be real who would know anyway.
    And you only need to declare a gain if the proceeds were more than £6,000. This £6,000 they talk about isn't per year, so i must assume it is per completed sale - the page reads like that. 
    Now there is more detail on the page but i think i can probably stop there not having seen many sales on the TSF over £6,000.
    There it is - you are not in a trade, this is a hobby and you are selling your personal possessions and none of the completed sales were for more than £6,000, so who cares what the gain on that might have been. So now you can forget about all the CGT clap trap and carry on stacking and then rearranging your stack. 
    So i suggest all tax residents in the UK take a look at chattels and arrange their hobby accordingly. i have coins and bars - which are of course all UK legal tender, i have spoons and forks, candle sticks, and other household items - i have jewellery - never get asked about jewellery even at the airport. Stay diversified. Know that you are sovereign. Come back to tell me i am wrong if you think so. i'm still not going to declared any of my treasure - but as i say i never sell any of mine and it is mine and i'm not a slave.

    If you’re a UK buyer who wants physical PMs for wealth preservation - Cut the sickly, poor cousin, silver middle man out as it will do no such thing for you.
    A real world (simplified) example:
    I bought an oz of silver in 2016 it cost me around £18 and is now worth approximately about the same in a private sale and far less to a dealer.
    I bought my first oz of gold in 2016 and it cost me £1049. It is now worth over £1400 in a private sale, or to a dealer.
    Fancy charts, obnoxious YouTube silverbugs and our lord and saviour the fabled “gold silver ratio” can all go hang. As the buying power of my £s have evaporated over the last 4 years, it is clear to me which metal has preserved my wealth

    Don’t be attracted by the false economy of being able to buy larger quantities of silver than gold due to its relative per oz affordability.
    Save up and focus efforts on buying gold.
    That being said, no one truly knows what the pms are going to do day to day and holding a small amount of silver is clearly a good idea for the sake of a building a diverse stack.
