Gold bars: frequently asked questions

How to buy gold bars in the UK

You can buy gold bars from StoneX Bullion by choosing a product on this page, checking the live price, and paying by bank transfer or credit card. Prices are fixed immediately when you place your order, and the shop offers nine currencies. Availability and delivery information are shown on each product page. Orders for private customers are discreetly packaged and fully insured, in accordance with the StoneX Bullion terms and conditions.

What should I consider before buying gold bars?

Gold bars often have a lower premium per gram than gold coins, and they are generally exempt from VAT in the UK if they meet HMRC's definition of investment gold. They are not exempt from UK Capital Gains Tax, unlike some UK legal-tender coins. You should also consider the bar's weight, the refiner, and how you will store it. This is not tax advice.

Are gold bars VAT-free in the UK?

Yes, gold bars are generally exempt from VAT in the UK if they meet HMRC's definition of investment gold: at least 995/1000 fine and in a weight accepted by the bullion markets (HMRC VAT Notice 701/21). This is not tax advice.

What is the purity of gold bars?

Most investment gold bars offered by StoneX Bullion are 999.9 fine (24-carat). The exact purity of each bar is shown on the product page.

Are gold bars exempt from Capital Gains Tax (CGT) in the UK?

No. Gold bars are not UK legal tender and are not exempt from Capital Gains Tax (TCGA 1992 s.21(1)(b)). The CGT exemption for UK-resident individuals applies only to UK legal-tender coins, such as the Britannia, Sovereign, Queen's Beasts and Tudor Beasts. This is not tax advice.

Which gold bar sizes do buyers often start with?

Buyers often start with smaller bars, such as 1 g to 10 g, or with a 1 oz bar, because the outlay is lower and a smaller bar can be sold on its own. The weights available, and their current prices, are shown in the product listing on this page.

How do gold bars compare with gold coins?

Gold bars often have a lower premium per gram, which some buyers prefer for larger purchases. Gold coins are typically easier to trade in smaller units; some UK legal-tender coins can also be exempt from Capital Gains Tax for UK-resident individuals, which gold bars are not (TCGA 1992 s.21(1)(b)). This is not tax advice.

How are gold bars delivered and insured?

Availability and delivery information are shown on each product page. Orders for private customers are discreetly packaged and fully insured, in accordance with the StoneX Bullion terms and conditions. StoneX Bullion is an LBMA Affiliate member.
