Saving gold through GoldRepublic: how does it work?

GoldRepublic's savings plan is ideal for those who want to build up long-term wealth in gold. You decide the amount you want to deposit periodically (from £50 per deposit) and how often you want to call (weekly, fortnightly or monthly). This amount is automatically converted into physical gold, which is purchased and stored on your behalf.

Set your periodic deposit
The amount is automatically debited weekly, fortnightly or monthly
We purchase physical gold for you at the current gold price
Your gold is stored securely in our independent vaults

You can always view your accumulated gold position via your GoldRepublic account. You can also easily adjust or pause your periodic deposit.

And if you want to sell (part of) your gold, you benefit from our buy-back guarantee, whereby we always buy back the gold you have purchased through GoldRepublic at the current gold price.

Why save in gold?

Reliable store of value:
‍By investing in physical gold, you spread your risks. Gold is seen as a safe haven and is not dependent on the financial system or central banks.

‍Spread over time:
When saving in gold, you periodically buy gold at the current gold price. Because the gold price can fluctuate daily, you spread your purchase moments. This is called cost averaging: you avoid buying a large amount of gold at once at an unfavourable moment.

‍Accessible:
Buying gold often requires a larger one-off investment. With gold savings, you can start with a small amount. This makes investing in gold accessible, even if you do not (yet) want to invest a large amount at once.

‍Discipline and consistency:
With a savings plan, you automatically deposit an amount every week or every two weeks. This helps you build up long-term wealth in physical gold without having to actively manage it.

‍Flexibility:
You decide how much you want to deposit periodically and can easily adjust this amount or pause your periodic deposits. In addition, you can always sell back your accumulated gold thanks to GoldRepublic's buy-back guarantee.

Costs of saving gold

If you save gold through GoldRepublic, you pay 0.5% transaction costs per periodic purchase and 0.5% storage costs per year (excluding VAT). If you opt for the savings plan, you receive a 50% discount on your transaction costs. Your transaction costs are therefore half as much (0.5%) with GoldRepublic's savings plan as when you buy gold occasionally (1%).

Frequently asked questions

Is buying gold a wise choice?

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...

What should I look out for when buying physical gold?

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.

Are gold bars exempt from VAT?

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.

Do I have to declare gold as an asset to the tax authorities?

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.
