Umicore is one of the most common producers of silver bars in the Netherlands. Umicore bars are available in various sizes from 100 grams up to 15 kilograms. All silver bars are taxed with 21% VAT and we therefore only recommend the purchase of silver bars if you can reclaim the VAT. If you want to buy the silver as a private person or private person, choose silver coins.
 
The newly cast silver bars from Umicore come in a protective package. Most silver bars bear the serial number and the weight and content of pure silver are always indicated on each silver bar.

Silver is fundamentally considered a raw material; therefore, silver bars are subject to 21% VAT. There are alternatives for investing in physical silver without paying this 21% VAT.

At The Silver Mountain, you can purchase VAT-free silver in sizes of 1 kilogram, 100 troy ounces, and 1,000 troy ounces. These bars are sourced from LBMA-accredited producers. Learn more about VAT-free silver here.

You can sell Umicore silver bars through our subsidiary, Inkoop Edelmetaal. Our bid prices are based on the most current silver price.
