What is DigiGold from The Royal Mint?

DigiGold offers a simple way to own a fraction of a physical, investment-grade gold bar stored securely in The Royal Mint’s Vault®. It allows you to buy and sell gold online without needing to purchase or store a whole gold bar, with investments starting from as little as £25.

The Royal Mint also offers Digital Silver and Digital Platinum, which work in a similar way, as well as Little Treasures.

No VAT is payable on the purchase or sale of our digital precious metal products. However, unlike qualifying UK legal tender bullion coins, digital precious metals do not benefit from a Capital Gains Tax exemption in their own right.

Tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and may change. The Royal Mint does not provide tax advice, so we recommend carrying out your own research or speaking to a qualified tax adviser.
