  • CGT exempt Silver Britannias and sale abroad

    First I am a UK resident, basic rate taxpayer. Suppose I wish to buy, store, and sell a monster box of Silver Britannias (500 oz), face value £2, with a USA based bullion dealer, does this mean they will lose their CGT exempt status when I transfer the proceeds of the sale back to the UK? They have storage options in the USA, Canada, Singapore, and I am wondering if there are any tax implications in these countries too. (Just wanted to know before making an investment)
