Testimonial
"I originally invested £ 350,000 in an ETF. Within 4 years, the value had increased to £ 800,000 which produced a Capital Gains Tax liability of £ 120,000.
I wanted to move to a more secure gold investment and transferred £ 680,000 to GoldMadeSimple, in order to remove counterparty risk by holding physical gold in a known location, with the option of delivery on demand and also take advantage of their Capital Gains Tax free gold Sovereigns and Britannias.
I was very impressed with the levels of security when I inspected my gold at the independent vault. It is comforting to know that my gold is in my indivdually sealed box inside the vault and that any future increase in the value of my investment, will be exempt from capital gains tax." FN (London)

Gold Sovereigns vs ETFs 
There is a growing trend in our clients deciding to transfer some funds from Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) into gold sovereigns and gold Britannias, in order to take advantage of the capital gains tax free status of these specific types of bullion coins.
Although coins generally trade at a higher margin than gold bars, many clients consider the tax benefits of sovereigns and Britannias outweigh this extra margin cost in the long term, especially if they believe that gold will continue to show the significant price increases that have been experienced over the last 10 years.
Tax Free Gold Storage
Working with The Royal Mint and Via Mat International, GoldMadeSimple provides clients with easy access to large quantities of tax exempt gold coins, at low rates, with options for delivery or secure storage and insurance in LBMA approved independent vaults in London and worldwide (including Germany, Switzerland, USA, Hong Kong).
