Questions
Common questions
Is buying gold VAT-free?
Investment-grade gold is exempt from VAT in the UK, whether bars or coins. Silver, platinum and palladium are charged at the standard rate. Our VAT guide covers what qualifies.
Which coins are free of Capital Gains Tax?
Gold and silver coins that are UK legal tender — Britannias, Sovereigns, Queen's Beasts and Tudor Beasts among them — are exempt from CGT for UK residents. Bars and foreign coins such as Krugerrands are not.
How is delivery handled?
UK orders are sent with free insured delivery, GPS-tracked to your door. International delivery is available at a flat rate.
Do I have to take delivery?
No. You can leave your metal in vaulted storage instead, allocated in your name and segregated from our own stock. The first three months are free.
Will you buy it back?
Yes. We buy at 98% of the live spot price, and we publish that before you buy rather than after. Selling from storage carries no withdrawal fee.
Is there a minimum order?
No minimum, though premiums are proportionally higher on very small items. Our guide on how much to buy explains why larger units are usually more efficient.
