黄金的一个重磅消息来了。 国家发布了最新版的黄金税收政策公告，强化了实物黄金的征税标准，说白一点，就是以后投资实物黄金要收税了。 我看了这个政策，大家注意看我标红线的部分，主要是哪些收税，哪些不收税的问题，要看不明白没关系，听我来解读。 核心主要两点： 第一，以后买黄金，只有从上海期货交易所和上海黄金交易所这两家机构买可以免税的，市场上那些第三方机构发生交易的时候，是要征税的，要按照现 行增值税规定交税。 这么做之后呢，就大大强化了两大交易所的市场地位，因为未来只有你去这两个交易所买黄金，能直接免税，那以后机构买黄金的渠道呢，会慢慢集中到 这两大交易所内进行，把整个投资实物黄金的市场就统一管理起来了，能更好的监管。 国家能非常清晰的知道哪些人持有黄金。 第二，你要知道，这个主要针对实物黄金和纸黄金来收税，黄金ETF这些金融资产不在收税范围，这意味着什么？ 很多人估计不懂，你想想看哈，以前投资实物黄金为什么有投资空间，因为黄金的各个渠道和交易所之间，各个渠道自检，互相是开发票抵税的，其实是 免税的，成本没有增加，实物黄金的流转和转手非常容易。 这也意味着实物黄金存在大量的炒作空间，那现在税务规范后呢，下家如果开 ...
