Taxed with 21% VATThe Umicore 100 gram silver bar contains 99.9% pure silver and bears the official “Umicore Feinsilber 999” hallmark. These investment-grade silver bars are produced in Belgium by Umicore, a precious metals refiner with a history dating back to the 1800s. Umicore has been accredited by the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) since 1930 and is listed on the prestigious Good Delivery List. This ensures that Umicore silver bars are globally recognized and can be traded instantly without further verification.
In the Netherlands, silver bars are subject to 21% VAT, which is already included in the webshop price. Business customers may reclaim VAT, but this does not apply to private investors. As a result, silver bars are often less attractive for individuals. Due to the higher production costs of the 100 gram silver bar, it is often more cost-effective to consider alternatives such as the 1 troy ounce silver coins.
For private investors, there are several attractive ways to buy physical silver VAT-free:
Each silver bar has a purity of 99.9% silver. The bar is stamped with the Umicore logo, silver fineness and weight of 100 grams. Thanks to its LBMA accreditation, the bar is globally recognized and easily tradable.
These bars bear the official “Umicore Feinsilber 999” hallmark and are produced in Belgium by Umicore. Founded in the 1800s and LBMA-accredited since 1930, Umicore’s silver bars can be traded worldwide without further verification. Each bar is newly produced and delivered in sealed packaging.
Umicore silver bars up to 100 grams are struck from silver plates using a minting process, known as ‘minted’ bars. Bars above 100 grams are made by pouring molten silver into molds, known as ‘casted’ bars. The difference lies solely in the production method and does not affect the bar’s value. This 100 gram bar is a minted bar.
