​​
Should I Buy Gold Coins or Gold Bars?​
​Both options offer distinct advantages, and the right choice depends on your investment objectives. Gold bars are typically suited to investors looking to hold larger quantities of gold in a cost efficient format. Gold coins remain the preferred option for many private investors due to their flexibility, ease of resale, and potential tax advantages. Coins are simple to acquire and can be liquidated easily, either in full or in smaller portions. Bars often carry lower purchase premiums, although they may also achieve lower resale premiums, which can reduce overall profit potential. Gold coins can also benefit from collectability. Design, history, rarity, and legal tender status can add value over time, creating potential growth from both the underlying gold price and the collectable market. Many UK legal tender gold coins are exempt from Capital Gains Tax.
​
Are Bullion Products VAT Free?​
Yes. Since 1 January 2000, investment grade gold has been VAT exempt under HMRC Notice 701/21a. Certain qualifying gold coins may also be exempt from Capital Gains Tax.
​
Why Should I Invest in Precious Metals?
​Gold has historically performed well during periods of financial uncertainty and geopolitical instability. Many investors view it as a long term store of value and a stabilising asset within a diversified portfolio. If you feel the timing is right, our team is available to answer questions and help you select products that align with your objectives.
​​
What Is Gold Bullion?
Gold bullion refers to investment grade gold with a high level of purity, typically 999 or 99.9 percent. It is available in both bar and coin form, with prices closely aligned to the live spot price of gold.
