If you want to invest in physical silver for business purposes, we recommend that you choose silver bars. Silver is seen as a raw material, so you pay 21% VAT on this 500 gram silver bar. You can later reclaim the VAT from the tax authorities, so that you can invest in silver in an advantageous way.
We advise private individuals to opt for silver coins, which are traded under the margin scheme. As a result, VAT is only calculated on the trader's profit and included in the price. You will then receive more silver for the same amount. If you sell the silver back in the future, you will also get a better bid price.
