What should I consider before buying platinum bars?
In the UK, platinum bars are generally subject to VAT at 20% and are not exempt from Capital Gains Tax. They are typically 999.5 or 999.9 fine, and bars often have a lower premium per gram than platinum coins. Platinum is also used in industry, including automotive catalysts and medical applications; that is a market fact, not a forecast of the price. This is not tax advice.
Are platinum bars VAT-free in the UK?
No. In the UK, platinum bars are not treated as investment gold and are generally subject to VAT at the standard rate of 20%. This is not tax advice.
What purity are platinum bars?
Most investment-grade platinum bars are 999.5 fine or higher, including 999.9. The exact purity of each bar is shown on the product page.
Are platinum bars exempt from Capital Gains Tax (CGT) in the UK?
No. Platinum 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. This is not tax advice.
Which platinum 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 platinum bars compare with platinum coins?
Platinum bars often have a lower premium per gram than platinum coins, which some buyers prefer for larger purchases. Platinum coins may suit a smaller unit or a collectable issue; any collector premium is separate from the metal content. In the UK, platinum bars and platinum coins are generally subject to 20% VAT. This is not tax advice.
How are platinum bars delivered and insured?
