Why strategically buy a kilo of silver?
Investing in a kilo of silver offers the perfect balance between price and flexibility. Due to the weight, you benefit from a lower premium over the silver spot price, while the bar remains practical and easy to trade.
Compared to a 10-kilogram silver bar, a 1 kg silver bar provides greater flexibility when selling. You can adjust your position more easily without having to liquidate large volumes at once. This makes the kilo silver bar suitable for both private and corporate investors.
VAT and tax advantages of a 1 kilo silver bar
A key benefit of investing in 1 kg of silver is fiscal efficiency, depending on your situation:
- Corporate: For businesses, the 21% VAT on silver bars is fully reclaimable. This allows you to effectively invest at the net silver price, making a kilo of silver an efficient corporate wealth reserve.
- Private: Do you want to buy a kilo of silver VAT-free as a private individual? You can opt for storage in Zurich, Switzerland. Your silver is stored in a bonded warehouse outside the EU tax zone, meaning you do not pay 21% VAT. VAT is only applicable if you choose physical home delivery.

Frequently asked questions about silver kilo bars
What is the advantage of buying silver for my company?
The greatest advantage is the VAT reclaim. While private individuals pay VAT upon delivery, corporate clients can reclaim this 21%. This allows you as an entrepreneur to acquire significantly more silver for the same investment, providing a more favorable starting point for your returns.
How does the buy-back guarantee work for stored silver bars?
When your 1 kg of silver is stored at Edelmetaal Beheer Nederland (EBN), you can offer it for sale at any time through your personal account. The transaction is handled entirely digitally at a transparent bid price linked to the current silver spot price. Proceeds are typically paid out to your bank account within one business day, without the need for physical transport.
Do I have to pay VAT on 1 kilo silver bars as a private investor?
In principle, yes; physical delivery to your home is subject to 21% VAT. However, you can avoid this by choosing storage in Zurich via Edelmetaal Beheer Nederland. Since the silver remains in a bonded warehouse outside the EU tax zone, you purchase your 1 kg silver bar completely VAT-free.
