Questions
What is the 1oz Gold Bar?
A one-ounce 999.9 fine gold bar from an LBMA-accredited refiner. Bars are investment gold and VAT-exempt, but unlike UK coins they are not legal tender, so gains are chargeable to Capital Gains Tax above the annual exempt amount.
How much gold is in a 1oz Gold Bar, and what is it worth?
It contains 31.10g of fine gold (1 troy oz). Its melt value is that weight times the spot price; dealers sell above it and buy back below it. Gold price today.
How much will a dealer pay for a 1oz Gold Bar?
None of the dealers we measure has a current published buyback price for it. Some dealers buy without publishing a price and quote on request. Buyback prices for every product.
Do I pay Capital Gains Tax when I sell a 1oz Gold Bar?
Yes, if your gains for the year are above the annual exempt amount (£3,000 for 2026-27). It is not UK legal tender, so gains are chargeable at 18% within the basic-rate band and 24% above it. Capital Gains Tax guide.
Is there VAT on the 1oz Gold Bar?
No. It meets HMRC's definition of investment gold (VAT Notice 701/21: minimum fineness, legal tender or on HMRC's list, sold at no more than 180% of its gold value), so no VAT is charged. VAT guide.
Why do dealers charge different prices for the same bar?
Each dealer adds its own premium to the spot price to cover minting, handling and margin, and some charge for delivery. The gold inside is worth the same everywhere, so the premium and delivery are what you're really comparing. It is not returned when you sell. How dealer premiums work.
