What does the exempt CGT status mean?
Why buy CGT-exempt products?
Pre-owned bullion is all about value. You're buying the same weight and purity of precious metal as you would with a brand new item, but at the lowest possible margin we can offer. Because these pieces have been owned before, they may show small marks, handling scuffs or other signs of wear. That's perfectly normal, and it doesn't change the metal content, weight, or specification in any way.
Every item is carefully checked and authenticated before it reaches our shelves, so you can buy with complete confidence. For many investors, the appeal is simple: you get more metal for your money. Condition is secondary to value here; if your goal is to maximise the amount of bullion you own, pre-owned stock can be a very cost-effective choice.

As gold bullion is exempt from UK VAT, there are no applicable taxes at the point of purchase.
However, investors should note that gold bars are liable for Capital Gains Tax at the point of sale, if you exceed your capital gains threshold within your tax year and you make a profit on the sale.
As we're not financial advisors, we can't offer you advice. However, we can give you some facts surrounding gold bar investment.
When investing in gold bullion there are two primary choices:
- investing in gold bars
- investing in gold coins
Potential investors must always remember that the sale of gold bars are subject to Capital Gains Tax (if you make a profit on their sale and you go over your annual CGT threshold).
The key difference wth UK issued gold coins (primarily Sovereigns and Britannias) is these coins are exempt from Capital Gains Tax.
Therefore, if you're a UK resident, whilst the margin you pay when buying a gold bar may be lower, you might be better off investing in UK issued gold coins.
