The house rule

One metal,
held properly.

W Gold carries gold and nothing else — sovereigns, Britannias, Tudor Beasts, Swiss bars, and a small standing shelf of pre-1933 pieces. Every coin is bought back at the market, by us, without a haggle.

Tax standing

Two exemptions, and what they cover

They are separate, they are constantly confused, and for a British buyer they decide most of what is worth owning.

Value Added Tax
66

Every entry, free of VAT

Investment gold is exempt from VAT in the United Kingdom — coins and bars alike, without exception. There is nothing in this catalogue that is not.

See the catalogue
Capital Gains Tax
35

Free of CGT as well

UK legal tender coins are exempt from Capital Gains Tax for UK residents, whatever the size of the gain. Sovereigns, Britannias and Tudor Beasts all qualify; bars and foreign coins do not.

General information about how the exemptions operate, not tax advice.

How it works here

Four steps, and none of them is a phone call

There is no account manager, no budget bracket to declare, and no call-back before anybody will quote you. The price is on the page, and the same price is on it for everybody.

01

Choose

Every listing states its purity, its fine gold content and its tax standing. The price shown is the price.

02

Pay

In full, at the time of order, because the metal moves. Card details go to the payment provider and never to us.

03

Delivered

Fully insured within the United Kingdom, in plain packaging that does not say what is inside. Signature required.

04

Sold back

Whenever you like. We buy back anything we sold, at the market on the day you ask, without a haggle.

Payment

Paid for in full at the time of order, because the metal moves. Card details are handled by the payment provider and never touch this house.
