SilverCH got a reaction from ArgentSmith in Why are people stacking Silver over Gold when there is a VAT on silver?
The 20% tax is only a killer if selling back to dealers who pay out based on the spot price. If I buy a rare £30 silver coin and then sell it for £100 on ebay 5 years later I don't need to charge VAT as a private seller, premiums are high in the UK but therefore you can also charge the same premium when selling on the private market (hopefully). However due to VAT I don't 'stack' generic bullion silver anymore I try to buy more proof/rare sets that I hope will become more desirable in the future. I prefer silver for collecting on my budget as its more enjoyable owning and hunting for hundreds of interesting proof coin sets compared to a couple of small gold coins!
