How gold is priced in the UK
In the UK gold is quoted per troy ounce and per gram in pounds sterling, so the price moves with both the gold market and the pound-dollar exchange rate. Investment gold such as bars and bullion coins is exempt from VAT, and UK legal-tender coins like the Sovereign and the Britannia are also free of capital gains tax for individuals. Jewellery is usually 9, 18 or 22 karat and is hallmarked by an assay office.
How this rate is calculated
Price per gram = gold spot price in US dollars per troy ounce ÷ 31.1035 × the GBP exchange rate × purity. 24 karat is counted as 99.9% pure, 22 karat as 91.7%, 21 karat as 87.5% and 18 karat as 75%. A tola is 11.6638 grams.
