What does the exempt CGT status mean?
Why buy CGT-exempt products?
The British lion and the American eagle have stood for courage, strength and freedom for centuries. In 2024 The Royal Mint brought them together on a single coin for the first time.
The range marks the long-standing relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States. It has since become an annual bullion issue, with a fresh design each year.
Every coin is struck to bullion standard. That means the coins are made to be bought for their metal content, so they carry a lower premium over the spot price than proof or collector versions.
With over 1,100 years of history, The Royal Mint is the original British maker of well-crafted and thoughtfully designed products.

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.
