Gold bars do not enjoy the same tax advantages that some coins are entitled to. However, premiums reduce significantly as the bars increase in size – it can therefore be more cost effective to buy bars. Basically you receive more gold for your money as the bar size increases.
We are happy to discuss this with you and assist you to structure the optimum gold portfolio.
Bullion coins are bought as an investment rather than for any numismatic value. One ounce gold coins are generally the largest size available and can be the most cost effective. A wide range of one ounce gold coins are available. UK gold coins are not subject to CGT (Capital Gains Tax).
We deliver the majority of our items via Royal Mail. The parcel is sent fully insured to your personal address and your signature will be required at handover. All our packages are discreetly wrapped to ensure confidentiality.

We offer state-of-the-art high security storage facilities. Your gold is held in allocated storage and is fully insured. Should you choose to take delivery of your gold then we offer a fully insured delivery option. We are happy to discuss these various options with you.
