Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to the questions we hear most.
Every buyer who purchased gold at any point since 2000 and held is in profit today. Gold isn't a trade — it's long-term wealth preservation. And with fractional coins like Quarter Britannias and Half Sovereigns, you can start from as little as £500.
Gold Sovereigns and Britannias are classified as UK legal tender under TCGA92/S21(1)(b), which makes them completely exempt from Capital Gains Tax. There is no limit and no threshold — whether your profit is £1,000 or £1,000,000, you pay £0 in CGT.
You typically have two routes: secure home delivery (fully insured in transit, discreet packaging, no branding), or storage with a third-party allocated vault provider. Northern Gold Supply does not take custody of client assets — where requested, we can introduce you to recognised providers, but any storage arrangement is held directly with that provider on their own terms. We can walk through the options during a private consultation.
Sovereigns and Britannias are among the most liquid gold coins in the UK. For products originally sourced through us, we can assist clients in obtaining resale or buyback quotations at live market rates — subject to verification, product condition and prevailing market conditions. We'll explain the process during a private consultation.
There is no fixed minimum, but most clients begin with £5,000–£10,000. Fractional coins are available for those who want to start smaller, and we can help structure a holding at any level during a private consultation.

Northern Gold Supply does not take custody of client assets. Where requested, we can introduce clients to recognised third-party allocated vault storage providers. Allocated, segregated holdings in the client's own name are typically available, subject to the chosen provider's onboarding, terms and fees. We'll walk through the available routes during a private consultation.
Most financial advisers earn commission on the products they recommend. They earn nothing when you buy physical gold. Meanwhile, gold has outperformed every major UK asset class this century, and central banks — the most conservative financial institutions on earth — bought over 1,000 tonnes last year.
