Hi Benrumpson. There is no problem with bringing gold into the UK as long as it is personally owned and not for intended for sale. I am not a corporate accountant and would not care to comment on the offshore position.
If the gold is in bar or jewelry form then any sales profit must be declared to HMRC and purchase invoices from the seller to you must be shown, if not tax will be payable on the whole amount.
I would not recommend bringing large amounts of physical gold into the UK. Much better to buy gold Britannias from a Swiss co and have them transferred to a vault in the UK, no limit, no tax to pay. ATB Speedy
