Comment:
Donovan Campbell, Jr., Rendering unto Caesar: The Taxation of
Gold Transactions, 53 TEXAS L. REV. 509 (1975).
Abstract:
Written immediately following the reinstitution of private
ownership and trading in gold in the U.S., this comment examines
the tax implications of the major categories of gold
transactions. For tax purposes, the author examines gold by
analogy to foreign currency and commodities. The comment
includes discussions of the tax ramifications of typical gold
transactions undertaken by the individual investor, the broker,
and the dealer.
