Frequently Asked Questions
How much gold is in a 1oz gold bar?
A 1oz gold bar contains exactly 1 troy ounce (31.103g) of gold. Our Best Value bars are .9999 fine (24 carat), meaning they are 99.99% pure gold with essentially no alloy content.
Which brand of gold bar will I receive?
The specific brand is selected by our team from available stock and cannot be requested in advance. You will receive a bar from a reputable LBMA-approved refiner, which may include PAMP Suisse, Valcambi, Metalor, Heraeus, Umicore, The Royal Mint, Perth Mint, Asahi, Argor-Heraeus, or Baird & Co. All bars are investment grade and fully authenticated.
Is a 1oz gold bar VAT free in the UK?
Yes. Gold bars meeting the investment gold criteria — purity of 995 parts per thousand or higher and a recognised weight — are exempt from VAT in the UK. Our 1oz .9999 fine gold bars qualify in full.
Is a 1oz gold bar CGT exempt in the UK?
No. Unlike UK legal tender gold coins (such as Britannias and Sovereigns), gold bars are not CGT-exempt for UK residents. Gains on gold bars may be subject to Capital Gains Tax. See our CGT-free gold guide if CGT exemption is important to you.
What condition will the bar be in?
Bars may be new or pre-owned. Pre-owned bars may show minor handling marks or surface marks consistent with storage but are investment grade and fully authenticated. Gold content and purity are unaffected.
