What does the exempt CGT status mean?

Why buy CGT-exempt products?

The Sovereign is Britain's classic gold coin. It was first struck in 1489, and the modern Sovereign has been made by The Royal Mint since 1817.

Sovereigns are struck in 22 carat gold and come in five sizes, from the Quarter Sovereign to the Five-Sovereign Piece. They're UK legal tender and count as investment gold, so they're free from both Capital Gains Tax and VAT for UK buyers.

You'll find our full range of Sovereigns below.

Your questions answered

We've compiled a list of our most frequently asked questions. If there's something we haven't covered, please call us & we'll be happy to help. Read all FAQs.

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.
