Grazie alla legge 7/2000, n. 7, il monopolio del mercato dell’oro da parte dell’ufficio italiano dei cambi è stato abolito ed i residenti italiani possono acquistare e vendere oro da investimento senza iva. L’acquisto e la vendita, se non svolte professionalmente, ma all’interno di una strategia di investimento/ protezione del patrimonio, sono libere. Eventuali cessioni, a norma dell’art. 1 comma 2 della legge 17.01.2000, n. 7 devono essere dichiarate alla unità di informazione finanziaria (uif ex uic) di banca d’italia.
