Buy silver coin bars
While traditional silver bars in the Netherlands are subject to 21% VAT, exceptions apply to coin bars. Each coin bar is officially stamped with a face value, making it considered a coin. This means silver coin bars fall under the VAT-friendly margin scheme: you only pay VAT on the trader's profit margin, which is already included in the displayed price.
This way, you benefit from the advantages of physical silver, without the disadvantages of VAT.

Frequently asked questions about buying silver coin bars
Should I buy silver bars or silver coin bars?
For private investors, silver coin bars are usually the most affordable option. While you pay 21% VAT on regular silver bars, coin bars are subject to the margin scheme. This means you only pay tax on the trader's profit margin, not on the full value of the silver.
Why don't I pay VAT on silver coin bars?
Because coin bars have an official face value and are legal tender. Therefore, they are treated as silver coins for tax purposes. The margin scheme applies automatically: the VAT is included in the trader's margin, meaning you effectively don't pay VAT on the silver weight.
What is the largest silver coin bar available?
The largest coin bar in our range weighs 15 kilograms. This impressive bar combines a high silver weight with the tax benefits of the margin scheme.
Do silver coin bars have collector's value?
Silver bars are primarily purchased as an investment, but some issues have aesthetic or numismatic appeal. Think of limited editions or unique designs. At The Silver Mountain, we always clearly indicate whether a bar has collector's value, so you know exactly what you're buying.
