Gold Krugerrands: frequently asked questions
What are Gold Krugerrand coins?
The Krugerrand is South Africa's official gold bullion coin, first issued in 1967. It is struck in 22-carat gold (91.67% gold, with copper for hardness), is legal tender in South Africa, and is available in 1 oz, 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz and 1/10 oz sizes. A 1 oz Krugerrand contains one troy ounce (31.1035 g) of fine gold. The obverse shows Paul Kruger, President of the South African Republic from 1883 to 1900, and the reverse shows a springbok.
What should I consider before buying Gold Krugerrands?
In the UK, Gold Krugerrands generally qualify as investment gold and are exempt from VAT if they meet HMRC's conditions (HMRC VAT Notice 701/21). They are not exempt from UK Capital Gains Tax, unlike UK legal-tender coins such as the Sovereign or Britannia (TCGA 1992 s.21(1)(b)). They are widely recognised, commonly traded, and offered in several sizes; the copper alloy also makes them more resistant to wear. This is not tax advice.
