- Tax Exemption Advantages: One of the major benefits for UK investors is that official British legal tender coins (such as the Gold Sovereign and Gold Britannia) are completely exempt from Capital Gains Tax (CGT), making them exceptionally popular for tax-efficient savings. Additionally, investment-grade gold bullion bars purchased in the UK are exempt from VAT.
