With a 1 kilo gold bar, you are choosing serious, tangible assets in pure physical gold, fully registered in your name and with a buy-back guarantee. At GoldRepublic, you benefit from secure storage, transparent costs and a wide range of different precious metals.
GoldRepublic was the first Dutch company to obtain an AFM licence for the sale of physical precious metals. In fact, that licence category was created specifically for GoldRepublic at the time.
We now have over £1.3 billion worth of precious metals in storage, making us by far one of the largest providers in the United Kingdom.The gold you buy through GoldRepublic is 99.99% pure and is supplied by LBMA-certified smelters. Your kilo of gold goes straight from the smelter into the vault. This means that the origin and quality of the gold are fully known and its global tradability is guaranteed. Whether you buy 1 gram of gold, 100 grams of gold or a kilo of gold.
Your gold is stored in independent, heavily secured vaults in Amsterdam, Frankfurt or Zurich. The contents of the vaults are periodically and independently checked by professional parties such as Brink's and Loomis. You will receive daily confirmation that your kilo of gold is actually in the vault.
For physical gold, storage is not a minor detail, but one of the most important factors. After all, if you own a kilo of gold, its value exceeds £100,000.
The gold you have purchased through GoldRepublic is stored in externally managed, high-security vaults in countries such as the Netherlands, Germany and Switzerland, in your own name and outside the estate of custodians.
Because an independent party manages the vaults, it can be objectively confirmed that your 1 kilo bar is actually there. This provides extra security on top of GoldRepublic's own administration.
The gold you have purchased through GoldRepublic is covered by a buy-back guarantee. This means you can be sure that you can always convert your kilo of gold back into cash.
We buy back your gold at a price linked to the current gold price, minus a transparent bid-ask spread. You place a sell order online and, once executed, you receive the proceeds in euros in your linked account.
You can also sell gold outside of GoldRepublic. Because it is LBMA-quality investment gold, the bar is easy to sell worldwide.
Through GoldRepublic, you can purchase gold bars from reputable, LBMA-certified smelters. You can buy gold starting from one gram (or a minimum investment of £50), at the current gold market price. Saving gold is also an option. Each month, you automatically deposit an amount for which gold is purchased at the current gold price. This allows you to build up a gold reserve step by step, without having to actively trade.
Buying gold can be a wise choice, especially in times of economic uncertainty or inflation. Historically, gold has retained its value well and offers protection against declining currency purchasing power. In addition, physical gold is a tangible asset that you can keep outside the financial system...
At GoldRepublic, you can buy whole gold bars or become a co-owner of a bar. If you become a co-owner, you pay NO bar reservation fees and you may be allocated anew bar every day. Legally, this makes no difference. You are still the(co-)owner of physical gold. The gold is delivered to you. You still know which bar you own (based on the bar number). Only in the event that, due to extreme circumstances, GoldRepublic is no longer able to provide its services, will you have to agree with the co-owners on what to do with the bar (sell or melt it down). If you reserve your own bar, this is not the case.
Yes, investment gold is exempt from VAT in the United Kingdom and throughout the European Union. This exemption applies to gold bars with a purity of at least99.5% (24 carats). All gold bars you purchase through GoldRepublic must meet these conditions and are therefore exempt from VAT.
In the Netherlands, you must declare physical gold that you own as assets in box 3 of your tax return. The reference date used for this is 1 January of the tax year for which you are filing your return. This means you declare the value of your gold on 1 January, based on the gold price on that day. However, always check with your tax adviser to see what applies to your personal situation.
