¿Hay que declarar la venta de oro?

Yes, it is mandatory to declare the sale of gold. Any individual who sells gold, whether in the form of bars, investment coins or jewelry, must pay taxes on this operation at the Tax Agency when filing the Income Tax Return (IRPF). Gains or losses are assessed. From a fiscal perspective, the sale is classified as a patrimonial gain or loss within the taxable base of savings.

The tax is not levied on the total amount received, but on the net profit: the difference between the acquisition value (original purchase price plus associated costs) and the transmission value (sale price minus transaction costs). Gains are taxed progressively in the IRPF at a rate of 19% up to 6,000 euros, 21% between 6,000 and 50,000 euros, 23% between 50,000 and 200,000 euros, 27% between 200,000 and 300,000 euros, and 28% for amounts exceeding 300,000 euros.

If the sale generates losses (selling for less than the cost), this patrimonial loss can be offset against other patrimonial gains of the same fiscal year or in the four years thereafter. Receipts and justifications. It is essential to preserve the original purchase receipt. If it is impossible to demonstrate the price paid for the gold, the Treasury may consider that 100% of the sale is net profit and apply taxes on the total.
