Usually ParcelForce, DHL, or whoever else is responsible for delivering it once it's in the UK will ask you to pay the amount due. They will also add on a handling fee. If you don't pay, you won't receive it.

Ok so once this arrives I would be contacted and made to pay the VAT and a handling fee? 
 

sorry for the questions guys just trying to work out exactly how this works 

 

thanks

Yes, that's how it works most of the time for individuals. They'll either write to you to ask for payment, or if you're lucky you might get an email and be given a chance to pay it online before it actually reaches the UK, thus avoiding any delays.

If you are a business, they might just deliver it and then invoice you afterwards if you have an account with them.

They hold your bar hostage until you pay the ransom.

Agreed, it is now prohibitive to purchase silver from the EU

Hope someone can advise. Are there any restrictions/tax on silver bullion coins if I bring them privately from UE? Either by car on plane? Does it need to be declared? Not much, max a few tubs of 1OZ's

This is a good question and one some of us have discussed/joked about on this forum about driving to Europe and buying 1000oz bars and driving back. But on a serious note, my understanding (so I could be completely wrong here), is that if it is not jewellery then you are limited to:

Allowance for other goods

You can bring in other goods worth up to £390 (or up to £270 if you arrive by private plane or boat).
If you go over your allowance you pay tax and duty on the total value of the goods, not just the value above your allowance.
You may have to pay customs duty if you exceed your allowance.

Import VAT

You may have to pay import VAT on the total value of the goods plus duty. You pay VAT at the current UK VAT rate.
That is based on information listed in: https://www.gov.uk/bringing-goods-into-uk-personal-use/print
However if you are stopped and haven't declared anything they could also assume you were trying to smuggle the goods in, in which case you are liable to forfeit all of it.
Your goods and any vehicle you use to transport them may be seized if you break the rules. You may also be fined or prosecuted.
That is based on information listed in: https://www.gov.uk/bringing-goods-into-uk-personal-use

Hope that helps. I would not want to take the risk of entering with more than £390 worth of silver, just incase it was taxed or worse deemed to attempt to smuggle it in. Having said that the other thing that could be argued is that as Britannias are legal tender, would be to purchase 5000 silver Britannia's and bring them into the country as the face value does not exceed the £10,000 limit of cash in Sterling or foreign currency equivalent. But I wouldn't want to try this and I'll make the declaration this isn't sound financial advise or any serious advise.

Our resident expert on bulk purchases before the iron curtain fell on VAT free silver in the UK, is @BackyardBullion, he is extremely helpful and will probably have some better insight that me.

I plan to visit my family this year, and I know I can buy there a bit cheaper. Not planning to get a wholesale amount, but just something for my stack. If I travel by car, I would not be bother, just packed up loose coins between pants in the bags, normally car is packed up when travel 1k miles.. But after travel to Poland twice by car, with kids, I rather pay twice the price for the plane..

You might get something nice.

Anyone got 1kg silver bars for sale and costs?

[Gruff]

Tavex Bullion still looking cheap for Brits

https://tavexbullion.co.uk/silver/1-oz-british-britannia-silver-coin-tavex-uk-london/

As at 0929 on the 1st March they are £25.56

 

I have noticed the spread climb recently, and it has been up over 42%, I assume that's down to demand.
If we use Chards as the yard stick as they are decent and trusted to get Brits for this price, you'd need to be ordering 100 or more.

Does anyone know the story with Tavex?

They were very competitive but, according to their website, no longer sell silver - although they will still buy it: Tavex 1oz Silver Britannia Coin

(Hover your cursor over the green 'You receive' dot.)

I’ve used them many times now. Great service and range but think they tend to focus on the Gold side of things.

I went to make a purchase from them today around 3pm. I was buying some silver which was all in stock, my payment wouldn't go through, spoke to a guy over the phone who emailed me a direct link to pay, still didn't work, and now I notice their website is down with a payment processing issue.
