Reddit - wallstreetbets - THE BIGGEST SHORT SQUEEZE IN THE WORLD $SLV Silver 25$ to 1000$.
 
Good luck to them if they do go for SLV, the likes of Morgan Stanley & other bullion banks that have been taking the p--s for years are now crying. They don't like it when some group has the audacity to take the fight to them lol.

Sorry but I have to disagree with this - 
You are referring to Estonia, I assume, where up until recently silver coins sold by the European Mint were VAT free.
The prices charged by the E.M. however were not always competitively priced against GS.be and others.
From my own experience I probably purchased 20 times the value from GS.be than from the E.M.

GS.be and many others, mostly in Germany, sold some ( but not all ) of their silver coins at a much reduced amount of VAT - which is not a lower VAT rate.
The VAT in Germany for example is 19%.
These companies used the differential VAT scheme which meant they added full VAT on a lesser value.
There is absolutely no reason ( prove me wrong please ) why our main bullion dealers in the UK could not do exactly the same.
The same applies to the much more expensive Platinum so there is a strong argument to either remove the VAT on Platinum as a relatively rare precious metal or add VAT to Gold. I do not see why gold should be treated any differently to Platinum when sold as an "investment" product. The differential VAT method does seem fair however and that should apply to all precious metals used sold as investment products and not raw material. That is possibly one reason why silver bars were not eligible for the reduced VAT in Germany several years ago whilst coins and coin bars were.

Come on guys and gals ... stop moaning about Brexit and kicking the government because we cannot import our silver coins at low or zero VAT.
Whilst a member of the EU goods can move freely between borders without paying additional tax.
This has now ended so that privilege has finished.
What you need to understand is that the low VAT charged has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH BREXIT.
Take a look at the map here showing the standard rates of VAT across the EU.
Most countries are at 20% and some higher.
Germany is one of the lowest at 19% and Finland is the highest at 24%
THESE ARE THE RATES OF VAT charged on most goods.
Estonia is the exception at 0% but although some stackers have purchased from the European Mint or through a group buy, many will have purchased ( and I include myself ) from GS.be, CoinInvest / STG and many of the better known German coin sellers.
THESE SELLERS WERE OPERATING A SCHEME CALLED DIFFERENTIAL VAT
This was a loophole in the VAT system where a seller could charge VAT on their margin rather than the intrinsic full value of the item.
This is entirely legal and is why GS.be and others can sell at such low prices meaning not charging the 20% or thereabouts VAT.
Since we have exited the EU all goods arriving from the EU are no longer "free movement" so are subject to full VAT as if they had shipped from e.g. the USA.
The ONLY solution to this problem and let's be honest only fair to stackers in the UK compared to our EU colleagues is to convince our main UK bullion and coin dealers to also work the differential VAT scheme used across the Channel.
If a mom & pop operation can implement differential VAT why not Chards, Atkinsons, BullionbyPost and others ?????
I am sure there will be endless excuses of being overly complicated but can someone in business please explain in lay-terms the problems.
A UK dealer adopting the methods used by CoinInvest/ STG and GS.be can corner the market in the UK if they wanted to.
My question goes directly to CoinInvest / STG who already do this but not in the UK - what is stopping you ??
Does the computer say NO ?
