What is Bullion?

Bullion refers to precious metals like gold and silver, valued primarily for their weight and purity. It is typically bought as coins or bars and traded close to its intrinsic metal value. This is irrespective of the coin’s condition, unlike proofs and uncirculated products that may have a value above the intrinsic price.

What Is Capital Gains Tax?

Capital Gains Tax (CGT) is a form of levy imposed on the profit gained from the sale of assets, such as real estate, investments, and collectibles. In the United Kingdom, the present CGT allowance is £3,000 per annum per individual, which means one can earn up to £3,000 from the sale of assets before being subject to CGT.

For UK residents, bullion coins that are UK legal tender pound sterling coins are exempt from Capital Gains Tax.
