Buy silver bars from recognized producers.

The London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) determines which producers of silver bars are recognized. Producers that meet the LBMA's requirements are listed on the Good Delivery List. All silver bars must be struck in at least 99.9% pure silver. The LBMA also oversees the refining process and the origin of the precious metal.

Silver bars with Good Delivery Status are easily traded worldwide. This is because with the Good Delivery Status, there are no questions about the origin or silver content of the bars. This means that no further analysis is needed to buy or sell such bars.

The Silver Mountain exclusively deals in silver bars from recognized producers. Our main supplier of silver bars is Umicore. This refinery exclusively produces new silver bars ranging from 100 grams to 15 kilograms, struck in pure silver.

Buying Silver Bars with VAT

Silver bars are subject to 21% VAT. This makes purchasing physical silver bars more attractive for businesses than for individuals. If you're a private buyer looking to invest in silver, consider opting for silver coins!

Buying Silver Bars with VAT

As silver is considered a commodity by the tax authorities, silver bars are subject to 21% VAT. This makes purchasing silver bars more appealing for business customers than for individuals. Businesses can reclaim the VAT when buying silver.

If you're buying silver as an individual, silver coins or coin bars are the most attractive investment option, as they are traded under the margin scheme.

Buying Silver Bars without VAT

There is a way for individuals to buy silver bars without paying VAT. VAT-free silver refers to large industrial silver bars that must be stored in a customs warehouse in Switzerland. Since the silver remains stored in Switzerland, there's no physical delivery, and therefore no Dutch VAT is applicable. This allows you to buy silver at the lowest possible price.
Industrial silver bars are large enough that their production costs are much lower than smaller silver bars. The bars stored VAT-free in the customs warehouse are available in 100 troy ounces (3.1 kilograms) and 1,000 troy ounces (31.1 kilograms).

The silver must remain stored within this warehouse and cannot be easily removed or transported. Purchasing VAT-free silver allows you to benefit from the lowest possible premium, and you can always take advantage of our buy-back guarantee. Particularly for private purchases and larger purchase amounts, this can be a very attractive alternative.

Silver coin bars are both a coin and a bar

If you're an individual who prefers to buy silver and physically receive it, you can opt for purchasing silver coin bars. Mints have devised an innovative solution to combine coins and bars. In this process, a silver coin is struck into a silver bar. As a result, the entire silver bar obtains the status of a "coin" and carries a certain nominal value. This allows the coin bar to be bought and sold under the margin scheme, making it significantly cheaper than a regular silver bar.

Buyback guarantee for silver bars

At The Silver Mountain, you can take advantage of our buy-back guarantee after purchasing silver bars. Regardless of the market conditions at the time you wish to sell back a silver bar, you can utilize our buy-back guarantee. This guarantee means that you can always easily and quickly sell the silver bar back to us at a bid price based on the current silver price. We buy back silver bars at 95% of the prevailing silver price.

Our buy-back guarantee applies to virtually all precious metals we sell.

Buyback guarantee for businesses

If you purchased the silver as a business, which is common when buying silver bars, you can issue an invoice to us when you want to sell the silver. To facilitate this, a business dossier needs to be created first so that we know who is authorized to act on behalf of the company. We also need to know the identity of the director/owner. Once this dossier is approved, your company can sell silver to us.

More information about investing in silver

Investing in silver can be interesting for several reasons. Like gold, silver has a tradition of being considered a valuable precious metal. Coins in various civilizations were minted in silver and gold for this reason.

Today, we no longer use silver as a currency, and the financial system is increasingly becoming digital. Since the abolition of the gold standard, we have an unbacked monetary system, meaning that all money currently in circulation is created as debt.

By converting wealth into physical gold and silver, it's possible to become less dependent on this fiat monetary system. It's a way to have something on hand that has always had a certain value and continues to hold value.

Furthermore, silver is widely used in today's industry. Silver is used, among other things, in electronics, solar panels, and batteries. More than 50% of the annual global demand for silver comes from this sector. With all emerging industries, the demand for silver is increasing while the supply is limited.

The price of silver itself is relatively low. For example, compared to the price of gold, silver is much cheaper now than it was decades ago. Since 2009, the price of silver has been increasing at an average rate of 8% per year, making buying silver a suitable method to offset the effects of inflation.

Make the right choice when buying silver

Silver bars are subject to 21% VAT and are therefore mainly interesting for business customers. If you purchase silver on behalf of a company, for example, on behalf of your personal holding company, you can generally reclaim the VAT. If you cannot do this, or if you are buying silver as a private individual, then silver coins and silver coin bars are cost-effective options for investing in silver.

To gain insight into the most interesting options, you can consult our Decision Support tool. Here, you can compare products based on the current price per gram and the spread (the difference between the purchase price and the selling price).
