Remember coins do not attract tax, bars and ingots do.

Thanks for the links. Researching further and a good way to avoid vat on buying physical gold, has anyone used BullionVault or Goldmoney for trading gold and silver online, even when considering the counter party risk?

No VAT due on physical gold in any form.

Correct but CGT is I believe if the gold is in coins that ARE legal tender in the UK, ie sovereigns. Krugerrands, for example, would attract CGT.

I am sure an expert will be along soon to say i am talking rolloxs
