If you have a single item that exceeds £2,500 on its own, please contact us before sending it in and we'll arrange a tailored, fully insured collection to suit its value.

Gold bullion bars come in a wide range of weights, from small 1 gram bars up to the large 400oz bars held by banks, with the most common sizes for UK investors being 1oz (31.1 grams), 100 grams and 1kg. Smaller bars of 5g, 10g, 20g and 50g are also widely held, making bullion accessible at almost any budget. Whatever the weight of your bar, our XRF testing confirms its exact gold content down to the microgram, so if you're looking to sell, the fastest way to find out what your bar is worth is a free, same-day valuation.

Gold bullion has long been regarded as a strong long-term investment, valued as a safe haven that tends to hold its worth during periods of inflation, market uncertainty and economic turbulence. Because bars and coins are priced purely on their gold content, they offer a transparent and highly liquid way to hold physical wealth. As with any asset, prices can rise and fall, but gold has historically retained its value over time. When you decide the time is right to sell, we pay above the market average on all gold bullion.

Most standard gold bars are not free from Capital Gains Tax, as CGT exemption in the UK applies specifically to gold coins that are legal tender, such as Sovereigns and Britannias, rather than to bars. Gold bars are, however, completely free from VAT, as all investment-grade gold is VAT-exempt in the UK. If avoiding CGT is a priority, legal tender gold coins are the more tax-efficient option, and whether you hold bars or coins, we offer a fast, fully insured way to sell gold bullion when the time comes.

Gold bars can be well worth buying for investors seeking a straightforward, low-premium way to own physical gold, as larger bars in particular carry lower costs per gram than coins, meaning more of your money goes directly into gold. They're valued purely on weight and purity, which makes them transparent to price and easy to sell. The main trade-off is that bars don't carry the Capital Gains Tax advantages of UK coins. If you already hold bars and are looking to sell, we pay competitively on bullion of every size.

Gold bars are free from VAT in the UK, as all investment-grade gold is exempt, but they are not automatically free from Capital Gains Tax, which applies to any profit made when selling them. CGT exemption is reserved for UK legal tender gold coins such as Sovereigns and Britannias. So while bars carry a clear VAT advantage, coins remain the more tax-efficient route for avoiding CGT. Whichever you hold, if you're ready to sell, we offer a same-day valuation at very competitive rates.

Gold bullion is not automatically free from Inheritance Tax, as it forms part of the total value of an estate, which may be liable for IHT depending on its overall size and individual circumstances. It is, however, free from VAT, and UK legal tender coins such as Sovereigns and Britannias remain exempt from Capital Gains Tax. For inheritance planning it's always best to speak to a qualified tax adviser, and if you're looking to sell inherited gold bullion, we make the process simple, secure and fully insured.

Yes, gold bars are completely free from VAT in the UK, as all investment-grade gold meeting the required purity standard is exempt from Value Added Tax. This applies to both gold bars and gold coins, and is one of the key advantages of holding physical gold over many other assets. It's worth noting that VAT exemption applies to investment-grade gold specifically, not to silver or other precious metals. If you're looking to sell VAT-free gold bullion, we pay very competitive rates when you sell gold bullion with us.

Most investment-grade gold bars are 24 carat, meaning they are pure gold, typically refined to a fineness of 999.9, which is as close to 100% pure as gold can be produced. This is what separates bullion bars from gold jewellery, which is usually mixed with other metals for durability and comes in lower carats such as 9ct or 18ct. The purity is stamped directly onto each bar. When you sell gold bullion with us, our XRF testing confirms that purity precisely, so you're paid accurately for the pure gold content.

Gold is called bullion when it's held in pure investment form, such as bars and coins valued by their weight and gold content rather than by any design, craftsmanship or collectable appeal. The word "bullion" comes from the French "bouillon," meaning to boil or melt, referring to gold in its refined, melted-down form. In short, bullion is gold owned purely as gold. Whether your bullion is in bars or coins, we purchase it at competitive, fully tested rates.
