What happened
The Internal Revenue Service has classified gains from SPDR Gold Shares (GLD) as collectibles and defined the associated gain and loss rules. This classification means that sellers of GLD face a maximum capital gains rate of 28%, rather than the standard lower rate. Physical gold trusts, such as IAU, face the same 28% collectibles rate.

Why it matters
The ruling changes how capital gains are taxed on GLD and similar gold products. However, holding SPDR Gold Shares inside an IRA eliminates the collectibles tax at the time of sale. This affects the tax basis and realized returns for investors.
