Buy Gold & Silver

You can select from a variety of ways to buy gold and silver through our UK online shop, including pre-owned or new coins and bars. Each purchase offers different tax benefits from those that are exempt from capital gains tax. Choosing to store your investments for easy liquidation or invest them in a self-invested personal pension (or SIPP) is entirely up to you.

On top of our immediate order fulfilment and instant vault allocation solutions, we can also offer gold that can be invested in your SIPP. An efficient way to diversify the portfolio of your pension, gold purchased through this scheme qualifies for up to 45% tax relief. Gold can be purchased in a variety of denominations of bars and coins and investments can be added to an existing SIPP or you can start a new SIPP using one of our fifteen partner pension providers.  Products purchased through our pension gold online shop are stored in a UK LBMA approved facility.

The various precious metal products that we sell are split into categories; this is to help with both selection and navigation. If you’re keen on products from more than one category, that’s great, but you’ll need to check out each category individually. That’s because we use different suppliers for the different product categories, enabling us to bring you the best prices and make your purchase tax-efficient.

Tax-free gold coins

Free from VAT and Capital Gains Tax (CGT) all the gold coins sold in this category of the Physical Gold shop are UK Royal Mint issued and are therefore of the highest quality. You can choose from brand new bullion coins to pre-owned, enhanced performance coins. Each option offers different benefits from greater protection in market variations and availability to the low initial cost of a new coin versus the potential higher value of a Victorian coin.

Silver shop

Silver is a popular investment to diversify your precious metal portfolio. We can supply coins direct to your door (including the Silver Britannia which is CGT-free).

VAT-free gold bars

We only sell the finest grade of gold bars produced by Swiss refiners, Metalor. Globally renowned for the quality of their 999.9 finesse, investment grade bars, your purchase qualifies for exemption from VAT. We can deliver these direct to your door or store them on your behalf. We also sell best value gold bars which are pre-owned bullion at a discounted price.

Monthly saver

Our monthly saver option is a popular choice for investors who want to make a regular commitment to building up the amount of gold and silver in their portfolio. Monthly investments start from £250 and provide an affordable starting point for many people to create an alternative to their ISA. The monthly pricing variations result in level cost averaging for more stable investments. For full details and more information on the benefits and process, you can read more here.

We are aware that many of our customers prefer to take delivery of their silver and gold so you can shop online for some handy accessories to store, present and secure your purchases.
