Gold Coin Tax Rules Outlined

Taxing gold coins should not push up prices of the yellow metal because the tax is to be levied on wholesalers  who pre-purchased coins from the Central Bank of Iran, says the president of the special gold commission at the Iran Chamber of Guilds
Mohammad Kashtiaray said tax won’t be levied on retail purchases, adding that it particularly targets those buyers who purchased gold coins in 2017-18. 
“If this group of buyers sells the coins, they will make a fat profit that will be taxable,” the parliamentary news website ICANA quoted him as saying.    
On Saturday each benchmark Emami gold coin was sold for 45.45 million rials ($348) while the Bahar Azadi coin was worth 44.93 million rials ($345).
