Disappearing Coins

In the upcoming economic order, it will be very helpful to have a nest egg abroad that you can use without governmental meddling and prying eyes.

Why should I want an offshore tax-haven nest egg?

Tax-efficient investing

The tax havens you are referred to from this site have no relevant taxes, and the legal tender coins mentioned are UK CGT (gains tax) and VAT (retail tax) free when bought offshore. These jurisdictions are wealthy, politically stable places, so they do not need to charge tax. This is unlikely to change in the foreseeable future.

Avoidance of coming exchange controls

From 1939 until their removal by the Thatcher administration in 1979, exchange controls were in place. They provide a way for a government to safeguard its currency in difficult economic times. They can affect citizens investing overseas, converting currency and overseas spending.

Why not enjoy investment privacy on steroids?

You are more likely to be struck by lightning twice in a year than for your offshore account to be the subject of an HMRC probe. (AI-assisted conclusion using HMRC, etc., figures). Let's look at the landscape.

No AML (Anti-Money Laundering) compliance reporting

Millions of people in the UK have investments and money overseas. A portion, estimated at £570 billion, is kept by UK residents in tax haven accounts.

The offshore bullion dealers with which this site is affiliated are not classified as Reporting Financial Institutions. RPIs report into a database to which the HMRC has access.

Barny’s Commentary:

"Coins deployed. Radar silent."

Why do precious metals dealers ask for your tax or National Insurance or tax reference?

“It’s part of AML compliance, which for dealers is a box-ticking exercise to show due diligence. Dealers don’t verify the number; it’s recorded as provided to be available where a specific investigation has been triggered and led directly to the account.”

Barny’s Commentary:
“Beacon logged. No transponder check. Stored for the record—not for pursuit.”

Who is investigated?

HMRC focuses on:

High-net-worth individuals with complex holdings,
Suspicious UK tax affairs that justify deeper scrutiny and
Pensioners on Pension Credit.

Even for AML database entries, a person is more likely to be struck by lightning twice in the same year than to be investigated as to overseas assets.

HMRC cannot go on a fishing expedition. They have to target a particular individual each time.

Barny’s Verdict:
“Unless you ping the radar, you’re just another dot in the fiscal fog.”

When HMRC investigates someone, it needs a trail to assets to know they exist.

HMRC must target a named individual, supported by one or more of the following:

Taxpayer reference
* National Insurance number
* Residential address
* Linked dealer or transaction

Without these, the trail is a non-starter or broken, and the pursuit stalls.

Barny’s Radar Report:
“No coordinates. No pursuit. Trail ends.”

When does a trail naturally end?

When you withdraw your metals or sell for cash, the trail to that point ends. After that, it’s up to you:

Enjoy a holiday
Buy a boat
Pop the coins in a safe

Or just relax knowing your assets are off the grid

Barny’s Tactical Whisper:
“Mission complete. Radar silent. Enjoy!
