There are 3 ways to own physical bullion.
We exclusively stock investment-grade bullion of the highest quality and above 90% purity, which is thereby exempt from VAT in the UK.
Bullion gold bars
Suitable for investors looking to purchase large amounts of gold. While easier to store, gold bars offer less flexibility and greater illiquidity than gold coins. Gold bars are produced by private mints. They do not qualify as legal tender and are thus subject to CGT.
Bullion gold coins
Ideal for investors who anticipate selling part of or their entire portfolio in the short to medium term. Gold coins typically offer far greater flexibility of purchase and liquidity than gold bars. All the gold coins that we offer are produced by a sovereign government’s mint, carrying the status of legal tender. As a result, gold coins are exempt from both VAT and CGT.
Graded gold coins
Ungraded coins carry a level of risk as there is no guarantee of grade, condition, or authenticity. All the gold coins that we offer are produced by a sovereign government’s mint, and carry the status of legal tender. As a result, gold coins are exempt from both VAT and CGT.
Gold prices rise during times of economic uncertainty.
Throughout the 21st century, a few trends have been clearly and consistently established when property and stocks underperform, the price of gold rises, as investors and institutions turn to gold as an “insurance policy” to recoup losses realised on other investments.

Do you sell investment-grade gold?
Yes. We offer a wide range of investment-grade gold bullion coins and bars at highly competitive prices. Our rates are regularly adjusted against those of other leading dealers, delivering on our promise to consistently offer the best Gold Bullion rates in the UK market.
Are bullion products VAT-free?
Since 1st January 2000, all investment grade gold is VAT exempt across the EU, as per notice 201/21a, the full details of which are available on HMRC’s website. Certain Gold Bullion and numismatic coins are also exempt from CGT.
Should I buy gold coins or bars?
Whilst essentially a personal preference, there are certain established advantages of coins vs. bars, and vice versa. Whilst the significantly larger size of Gold Bullion bars makes them a superior choice for holding large quantities of gold, Gold Bullion coins remain by far a more popular option for individual investors.
