At Holland Gold you canGold bars also buy gold coins. Buying gold coins has been growing in popularity in recent years. Gold coins are loved by investors and collectors. The various currencies listed below are investment coins. Investment gold is VAT-free, which makes buying gold coins attractive to investors.
In recent decades, several mints have focused on the production of investment coins. The Krugerrand, Maple Leaf and Philharmoniker are a good example of this. Mints charge a premium for the production of a gold coin. This premium will generally retain some of its value, as market participants such as Holland Gold can resell these coins Older coins such as 'golden tenners' have also become interesting investment products. Due to the relatively low purchase value, there are enthusiasts for these coins.
Buying gold coins is not an everyday activity for most people. Buying gold coins can be a smart investment. Gold often has the weight of a troy ounce. One troy ounce is equal to 31,103 grams. The weight of the American Eagle or Kruggerrand is slightly higher. These coins have a content of 22 carat gold, but also contain 1 troy ounce of gold.
There are also products that are less heavy. Such as the golden tenner (6.04 grams) and the golden ducats (3.43 grams). Buying gold coins can therefore also be done in smaller forms. For example, in addition to the regular Krugerrand coin of a troy ounce, there is also a 1/10 Krugerrand. These smaller coins can be used as a means of payment in an emergency.
The coins mentioned above are investment coins, and are VAT-free. The government has set requirements for this. Only when these requirements are met can a coin be called an investment coin:

During consultations, we are often asked whether you would be better off Gold bars or Gold Coins can buy. It doesn't really matter much, since gold is just gold at the end of the day. Investment gold is exempt from VAT and, unlike silver, you won't be able to make any mistakes with this.
When purchasing your precious metal, it is important that you take into account the production costs and other premiums that are passed on in the price. For gold, the greater the gold weight, the more advantageous the premium. Large bars are cheaper per gram than smaller bars. This also applies to the well-known gold investment coins.
Within the eurozone, gold is exempt from VAT, as long as it is Gold bars with a purity of 24 carats and Gold Coins with a purity of at least 90%. The reason for this is that the European countries and the ECB classify gold as a form of financial wealth that must be freely tradable, similar to stocks and bonds.
Within the euro area, silver-, platinum-and palladium are not exempt from VAT and are therefore subject to VAT.
In contrast to gold, the choice of bars or coins for silver, platinum and palladium is more important because of VAT. These metals have an industrial character, a raw material. As a result, 21% VAT is charged on silver bars. As is the case for all other "white" precious metals such as platinum, palladium and rhodium. It is therefore better for private individuals to purchase silver coins: silver coins fall under the margin scheme in the Netherlands. In the case of the margin scheme, the trader does not calculate VAT on turnover, but on the difference between the selling price and the Cost of the goods: the (profit) margin. As a result, a lot less VAT is paid for silver coins. It can only be interesting for business customers to buy silver bars because in some cases they can reclaim the VAT.
The most advantageous for both individuals and business customers is to Silver bars or platinum bars to be purchased in combination with storage outside the EU, such as in Switzerland or Singapore. Because these bars are at a customs depot, no tax is levied on them. These bars are therefore VAT-free!

Gold offers protection in times of inflation and is therefore a pillar in every investment portfolio. In the long term, gold retains its value, while currencies lose a lot of purchasing power. An example of the value retention of gold is that 2,000 years ago you could buy a tailor-made suit for one Gold coin And that is still the case today. In addition, gold is an insurance against a systemic risk: if the entire financial system collapses, the gold supply provides collateral to start over.

Holland Gold purchases gold from licensed mints and LBMA-accredited refineries. These market participants account extensively for how the gold was obtained. Refineries must comply with the Responsible Gold and/or Responsible Silver guidelines. The requirements of the Responsible Sourcing programme and the LBMA Good Delivery Rules for the way in which the bars are produced are becoming increasingly important.
