Umicore 1 kilogram silver bar

The Umicore 1 kilogram silver bar contains 99.9% pure silver and bears the official “Umicore Feinsilber 999” hallmark. These bars are produced in Belgium by Umicore, a precious metals refiner with a history dating back to the 1800s.

Important to know

In the Netherlands, silver bars are subject to 21% VAT, which is already included in the webshop price. Business customers may reclaim the VAT, but this does not apply to private investors. For this reason, silver bars are often less attractive for individual investors.

Alternatives: buying VAT-free silver

For private investors, there are several attractive ways to buy physical silver VAT-free:

• Silver coins that have already been in circulation, such as 1 troy ounce coins from various years or 1 kilogram Dutch silver coins. These coins are exempt from the 21% VAT.
• Silver bars in storage: when stored in a secure bonded warehouse abroad (for example in Switzerland or Singapore), no VAT is charged. This makes it a practical choice for long-term investors.
• The precious metals account: buy physical silver per gram VAT-free at the most competitive price.

Design

Each 1 kilogram silver bar has a purity of 99.9% silver. The bar is stamped with the Umicore logo, silver fineness, unique serial number and weight of 1 kilogram. Thanks to its LBMA accreditation, the bar is globally recognized and easily tradable worldwide.

These bars feature 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 internationally without further verification. Each bar is newly produced and delivered in sealed packaging.

Umicore’s smaller bars, known as ‘minted’ bars, are struck from silver plates up to 100 grams. Bars labeled as ‘casted’ are made by pouring molten silver into molds. All bars over 100 grams are produced as casted bars. The difference lies only in the production method and does not affect the bar’s value at purchase or sale.
