## Buying gold in Bruges
Price close to spot plus the format premium only — no VAT on investment gold. Large formats (500 g, 1 kg bar) have the lowest premium; small formats (5–50 g) and coins (napoléon, sovereign) are more liquid on resale.

## Selling / appraising your gold in Bruges
The buyback value depends on the fine gold weight (999.9 for a bar, 900 for a napoléon, 750 for 18-carat jewellery) and the day's price. Free appraisal with no commitment. Remote appraisal recommended from Bruges (counter 515 km away).

## Key points
- Compare the premium (%) rather than the raw price.
- Investment gold is bought VAT-free; on resale, a flat 11.5% precious-metals tax (or the capital-gains regime) applies.
- Require a certificate and seal (LBMA); keep invoices.
- On buyback, only the fine gold weight counts.
