🎄Please get in touch with each other to share your details!🎄 

It's actually quite complex when you consider the different VAT schemes in operation on silver in Europe.  Estonia had for a long time (and it may still be) a totally VAT free scheme.  Germany had a 7% VAT rate if I remember correctly and then also had a dealers margin scheme with VAT on the dealers profit only.  Quite how the UK HMRC would treat Silver that had had VAT applied in Germany at 7% I don't know.  Would they regard it as VAT paid? Or would they work out 13% that they would then collect?  Or would they slap a full 20% on it?
The UK government is going to have to get this part of these proceedings worked out fast.  There are plenty of other goods for which the VAT is mismatched and slapping full UK VAT on top would be like adding trade tariffs.
The truth of the matter is that the biggest trade tariffs from the USA to UK are usually the VAT.  Now that we don't have to play with this dreadful EU invented tax, lets just hope that the government chooses wisely to abandon it and to let the brakes off the economy.  Abolishing VAT now would be very bold and it would be a massive shake up.  It would certainly give people a lot more money in their pockets and give the whole economy an enormous boost.  The ability to act in this kind of bold way was the very reason for leaving in the first place.  I'm not sure if the Tories realised this when they took the policy off UKIP.

Read the link on metals across borders i posted.  There is a discussion there or on a link in the page that discusses this cash legal tender value rather than metal value.   It would appear that if declared as a monetary cash instrument you might get away with it but personally I doubt it.  It's very hard to determine what they mean by cash and financial instruments given that other items such as gold bullion have different and vague definitions.  It all goes round in circles and I think it's deliberate to be honest.  The legal tender argument only really works for circulating legal tender is my assessment but it would be great if that was different.  I wouldn't want to take the risk but if you do and it works out please do let us hear about it.  It would definitely result in a big discussion with customs and you'd need your legal case carefully laid out to demonstrate to them.

Completely agree, and I ended up getting a 2oz QB last year that put me on the path to get the set  

Merry XMAS all!!!
