Gold Britannias are exempt from Capital Gains Tax (CGT) in the UK, making them a highly popular investment for British investors.

Why Buy a 2022 Gold Britannia?

Gold Britannias are the most popular 1oz gold bullion coins in the UK. They offer a great benefit to British investors as they are exempt from Capital Gains Tax. The weight, purity, and gold content of the 2022 Gold Britannia are backed by The Royal Mint.

Depending on their year of issue, the purity of their gold content varies. Gold Britannia coins produced before 2012 were made of 22-carat gold, while coins from 2013 onward are produced in 24-carat gold. Although pure gold coins (24 carat) are more fragile, both Britannias are excellent for trades as well as for storage.

Additionally, buying Gold Britannia coins offers several advantages over gold bars and is a great choice for any precious metal investor:

• They allow you to split your precious metal portfolio into smaller units of 1 ounce of gold
• They are highly liquid and have a low premium over the gold spot price
• Their fine gold content of 1 troy ounce (31.1035 grams) allows you to track their price easily. Since the gold price is quoted in ounces, you can simply look at the live gold price on our website to know the exact value of your Gold Britannia.

Why Buy 1oz Gold Coins?

Like all gold coins, 1oz Gold Britannia coins are VAT-free in both Great Britain and in any country within the European Union.

One-ounce gold coins are popular in the gold bullion market as they allow you to divide your precious metal holdings into smaller fractions. A large gold bar, although cheaper per gram, may not be the best option because it limits the flexibility of your investment.

Buying 1oz gold bullion coins makes your investment more divisible and liquid. You can resell a few gold coins when needed, instead of selling an entire bar at once. Therefore, it is worth paying a slightly higher premium for the flexibility that smaller coins offer.
