Pensions
Buying gold through a personal pension is simple. Gold for pensions provides a way to manage your pension metal holdingssecurely within our vault.
There are different approaches to buying physical gold with your pension:
- Buy gold through your existing SIPP or SSAS
- Transfer part of or the full value of your existing pension to a SIPP or SSAS
- Make contributions to a new SIPP or SSAS
Depending on your personal circumstance, you could be entitled to 45% tax relief on your pension contributions up to the maximum annual allowance.
Investment-grade gold bullion has a specific exemption from being treated as "tangible moveable property" (which would normally be "taxable" property) within SIPPs and it is the only physical commodity to benefit from this exemption.
- Investment gold is VAT free
- Any gains are exempt from Capital Gains Tax (CGT)
Physical gold bullion can be held in a pension via a SIPP or SSAS. HMRC require the gold bullion (investment grade bars of purity not less than 99.50) in your pension to remain securely vaulted with an approved custodian.
- Baird & Co Ltd offer investors investment grade gold bars with a purity of 99.99%
