Gold bullion is not subjected to VAT. Under UK tax regulations, gold bullion is categorized as investment gold and thus qualifies for exemption. HM Revenue and Customs have augmented the European Commission’s list with their own, comprising gold coins eligible for the investment gold coins exemption. Notably, coins minted by The Royal Mint, like Gold Britannias or Gold Sovereigns, are considered legal tender and are exempt from capital gains tax.
This exemption extends to the European Union as well. Recognizing the competitive disparities arising from varying VAT rates among member states, the EU opted to abolish VAT on investment gold. This move leveled the playing field across the EU. Subsequently, realizing the competitive disadvantage of maintaining VAT on investment gold, the UK Government aligned its policy with the EU, eliminating VAT on gold bullion shortly thereafter.
Investment gold, as defined by HMRC, encompasses gold meeting specific criteria:
- Gold bars or wafers with a purity of at least 995 thousandths and a weight accepted by bullion markets.
- Gold coins minted after 1800 meeting one of the following conditions:
- Purity of not less than 900 thousandths.
- Legal tender in their country of origin.
- Typically sold at a normal price not exceeding 180% of the open market value of the gold they contain.
- Coins designated as investment gold coins per the specifications outlined in Investment gold coins (VAT Notice 701/21A)
The normal selling price of gold coins plays a crucial role in determining VAT exemptions.
If the typical price for a specific coin type falls within 180% of its gold value, all coins of that type are exempt from VAT, regardless of individual collector interest. Conversely, if a coin type typically exceeds this threshold due to collector appeal but an individual coin’s condition diminishes its value below the 180% mark, VAT applies at the standard rate.
Two main factors influence the normal selling price: the coin’s finish and its intended use. Older coins designed for circulation often show signs of wear, whereas more recent ones, primarily meant for wealth storage, may have various finishes. The prevailing condition of a coin type, whether ‘brilliant uncirculated’ or ‘proof,’ significantly impacts its normal selling price. Thus, assessing the typical selling price requires considering these factors and basing it on the most common condition in which the coin type is traded.
By designating gold Britannias as legitimate currency, the UK government enables purchasers to acquire these coins without incurring Value Added Tax (VAT). Additionally, British taxpayers are not subject to Capital Gains Tax (CGT) when dealing with these coins. This renders gold Britannias a more appealing option for domestic buyers compared to alternative gold bullion coins like American Eagles, Canadian Maples, and South African Krugerrands.

How can i determine if a gold coin is recognized as an investment gold coin by hm revenue & customs?
To determine if a gold coin is recognized as an investment gold coin by HM Revenue & Customs in the UK, you can refer to specific criteria outlined by HMRC. An investment gold coin is either a gold coin minted after 1800 that meets certain purity and legal tender requirements or a gold coin listed in the official list provided by HMRC. The key criteria include:
- Purity and Legal Tender:
- The gold coin must have a purity of not less than 900 thousandths.
- It should be, or have been, legal tender in its country of origin.
- The coin should be of a description that is normally sold at a price not exceeding 180% of the open market value of the gold.
- Listed Coins:
- The coin should be listed in the official list of investment gold coins provided by HMRC.
- If a coin is not on the list, it can still be exempt from VAT if it meets the criteria mentioned above, but you must be able to demonstrate this from your business records.
- Record Keeping:
- Dealers in investment gold coins have specific record-keeping requirements outlined by HMRC.
By ensuring that a gold coin meets these criteria, individuals and traders can determine if a gold coin is recognized as an investment gold coin by HM Revenue & Customs.
what is the minimum purity requirement for investment gold coins in UK? The minimum purity requirement for investment gold coins varies depending on the country and the specific regulations in place. In the context of investment-grade gold bars, the minimum purity allowed is typically 995 fineness, although most gold bars will have a purity of 999.9. Gold coins, on the other hand, generally range in purity from 916 (22 karats) to 999.9 (99.99%) pure gold. For coins to qualify as investment gold coins and be exempt from certain taxes, they must meet specific purity criteria.
