Can I change my delivery address?

If you are spending more than £10,000 in the course of a year then we are required to keep a record of your identification and address to comply with HM Revenue and Customs regulations.

Is VAT payable on gold purchased from My Gold Platform?

As of 1st January 2000, investment gold is NOT subject to VAT throughout the UK and EU.  

Should I buy gold bars?

Gold bars do not enjoy the same tax advantages that some coins are entitled to. However, premiums reduce significantly as the bars increase in size – it can therefore be more cost effective to buy bars. Basically you receive more gold for your money as the bar size increases.

We are happy to discuss this with you and assist you to structure the optimum gold portfolio.

Should I buy gold coins?

Bullion coins are bought as an investment rather than for any numismatic value. One ounce gold coins are generally the largest size available and can be the most cost effective. A wide range of one ounce gold coins are available. UK gold coins are not subject to CGT (Capital Gains Tax).

What are your delivery methods?

We deliver the majority of our items via Royal Mail. The parcel is sent fully insured to your personal address and your signature will be required at handover. All our packages are discreetly wrapped to ensure confidentiality.

What happens if I am not at home to take delivery?

A card will be left by the courier so that you can arrange delivery for another day or collection from your local sorting office/depot. Photo ID will be required. Your parcel will remain fully insured until it is signed for by you.

What storage options are available for my gold?

We offer state-of-the-art high security storage facilities. Your gold is held in allocated storage and is fully insured. Should you choose to take delivery of your gold then we offer a fully insured delivery option. We are happy to discuss these various options with you.
