Why Institutional Investors Prefer Allocated Physical Bars
In times of systemic monetary expansion, counterparty default risk, and banking volatility, physical investment bars offer non-dilutable wealth protection. Unlike gold exchange-traded products (ETFs) or paper derivatives, holding allocated gold bars grants direct, unencumbered legal title.
- Complete exemption from UK Value Added Tax (VAT) and capital controls.
- Direct segregation: Your bars are serial-assigned, never co-mingled or rehypothecated.
- Global recognisability: Easily liquidated at prevailing spot prices anywhere in the world.
- Option for ultra-secure insured delivery or allocated London vault custody.
Frequently Asked Questions About Gold Bars
Expert answers regarding purity, assay cards, taxes, and discreet logistics.
What does LBMA Good Delivery accreditation mean?
The London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) represents the global standard for wholesale precious metals. A bar stamped by an LBMA-accredited refiner guarantees stringent criteria for minimum purity (99.5% for Good Delivery, 99.99% for minted bars), precise weighing, and ethical sourcing.
Are gold bars subject to UK VAT?
No. Under HMRC regulations, investment-grade gold bars (defined as bars of purity not less than 995 thousandths) are zero-rated for VAT (0% VAT), making physical gold an exceptionally tax-efficient wealth preservation vehicle.
How is my gold bar protected during shipment?
Every dispatch is fully insured up to its full market replacement value through specialized armoured couriers. Shipments are packaged in nondescript, tamper-evident outer boxes without any reference to precious metals, requiring strict identification signatures upon receipt.
Can I sell my gold bars back to Golden Star Met?
Yes. Golden Star Met maintains a guaranteed two-way liquidity market. We buy back all LBMA-accredited gold bars at competitive spot-linked rates, providing same-day wire settlement upon receipt and non-destructive assay verification.
