Vat Free Silver Estonia Or Germany?

[simon13]

New here.  I've been picking up some silver coins from ebay for a few months and i've been looking into VAT free silver from Estonia.  I'm a bit confused about Silver-to-go.com, in Germany, who seem to offer VAT free silver but don't elaborate much about it on their website.  If I get silver coins from silver-to-go, will I be charged VAT?

 

 I'm looking to spend around £500 on 2014 Canadian Maples. Who would you recommend to get VAT free silver from? 

 

I'm in the North Highlands of Scotland and I started to learn about national debt, currency and central banking to work out how i'd vote for the referendum.  i'm quite a bit more awake now and I want to stock up on silver.

Did a lot of reading here, kinda answered my own questions.  I'll give STG a shot tomorrow.

Welcome to the forum. You can buy goods from any country within the EU and you will not be charged import VAT. That is the purpose of the EU, so trade can happen freely between countries.

You do not mind the milk spots issues on maples?

[SilverPirate]

If you want just plain old bullion go for Philly's, cheap as chips no milk spot issues.The thing i have learnt on here though is probably better off buying a roll of some thing Perth mint,something new 2014.The profit of silver up and collector-ability premium makes it more sexy.

but you buy what you like.

The price you see on STG website is what you pay.

Check also the shipping charge and optimise your order by adding a few single coins as well as your tube of 25 Maples.

You can pay in pounds sterling to their London bank so avoid bank transfer fees.

Maples are amongst the cheapest 1 oz coins but can be boring.

Phillies are really shiny silver but they don't have a reeded edge.

If new to stacking you should consider a mixture of everything that is not outside your budget.

There is no discount for buying a tube so dive in with a mix and get some capsules for your coins.

Was looking at buying 25 kooks from them, when you pay in £ rather than € the price is approx 50p a coin more

STG? Have they ever sold Kooks in 1oz because I've not seen them?

I suppose it depends on the exchange rate of STG and the currency exchange rate from your broker at the time of exchange

on an example order of 10 libertads paying in euros via currency fair vs paying in pounds:

205.65 euros which is a total cost of £163.51 if paying via CF

 

vs £163.91

Paying in euros on this example would save you 4p per coin.

Never pay in £ with ESB.  They use a really awful exchange rate.  STG on the other hand is a lot more favourable.

It is always cheaper to pay in € (assuming 20ish coins) because a broker will give a batter exchange rate.

Been over an hour and I haven't received my invoice by email... Have emailed STG, as suggested on their check out complete page.   Suppose it'll be tommorow before I get anything back.

If it's manually generated you won't receive it until tomorrow with normal office hours being 9-5 or so.

Don't worry I thought the same, it takes a while for the transaction to be processed.

[simon13]

email received and I paid into the UK account this morning.  Excited to see my silver.   Mainly got Maples but I got a few other coins just for fun.

[simon13]

Received today from silver-to-go 26oz of silver. Took a wee while but i'm tottaly happy and will order again.
