Will I need to pay VAT on bullion products?

VAT treatment depends on the type of bullion product you purchase and where you are buying it.

In the UK and European Union, qualifying investment gold products are exempt from VAT. Silver and platinum bullion coins and bars are generally subject to VAT.

No VAT is payable when purchasing The Royal Mint’s digital precious metals, including DigiGold, DigiSilver and DigiPlatinum.

VAT and other sales taxes vary between countries. If you are purchasing from outside the UK, we recommend checking the applicable local tax rules before buying.
