FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Why Buy Gold?

Where is Woodbury Gold Vault based?

We are proudly based in Mayfair, London, operating from 17 Hanover Square, W1S 1BN. All operations, packaging, and client services are handled within the United Kingdom.

Do you ship within the UK?

Yes. We offer fully insured, discreet delivery throughout the UK. Every parcel is tracked and packaged securely under plain cover for confidentiality. Orders above a certain value may qualify for complimentary shipping — details are shown at checkout.

Do you ship internationally?

Select products can be shipped internationally on request, subject to local customs regulations. Please contact our Private Client Team for specific arrangements and insured delivery options.

Are your gold coins VAT and Capital Gains Tax exempt?

Yes. All Royal Mint legal-tender gold coins (such as Britannias and Sovereigns) are VAT- and CGT-exempt under current UK law. Other products, such as silver, may carry VAT depending on their classification.

What’s best — coins or bars?

That depends on your goals. Our Private Client Specialists can help you decide which option best suits your needs, whether you’re focused on flexibility, storage, or long-term wealth preservation.

Gold coins such as the Royal Mint Britannia or Sovereign are VAT and Capital Gains Tax exempt in the UK, making them ideal for private holdings and easier resale. Gold bars, on the other hand, are often preferred for larger allocations due to their compact form and lower premiums.

Our team can provide clear, one-to-one guidance to help you strike the right balance — whether that’s building a vault-sealed coin collection, acquiring bars for value efficiency, or combining both for a diversified portfolio.
