1 kilo silver bar
The 1 kilo silver bar is a popular silver bar to invest in physical silver. Due to its low production costs, there is only a small difference between the purchase price and the silver price. Silver bars of 1 kilogram are a common denomination within the Netherlands and the rest of Europe.
All silver bars are taxed with 21% VAT and are therefore interesting for the business investor.
Buy silver bar 1 kg
The silver bar 1 kg is one of the larger denomination weights, with which you can invest in physical silver. Due to its high weight, the production costs of the silver bar are comparatively much lower than those of smaller silver bars. This reduces the difference between the purchase price of your silver bar and the current silver price, also known as the spread. As a result, many business investors opt for this size of silver bar. Alternatives that are common are the silver bars of 500 grams or 5 kilograms.
In our range we offer various 1 kilo silver bars:
- 1 kilo Umicore silver bar
- 1 kilo Heraeus silver bar
- 1 kilo Germania Mint silver bar

Frequently asked questions about silver kilo bars
Is a 1-kilogram silver bar a good investment?
Silver bars are a sound investment due to their low production costs when acquired for business purposes. However, for individuals, silver bars are subject to a 21% VAT, which diminishes their attractiveness.
What is the difference between silver coin bars and silver bars?
1-kilogram silver coin bars are traded under the margin scheme, making them a preferable alternative to standard silver bars.
Why is there VAT on silver bars?
The Tax Authorities consider silver as a raw material and therefore impose a 21% VAT. Silver coins, however, are traded under the margin scheme, which means VAT is calculated only on the profit margin of the selling party. For instance, if we purchase a silver coin for EUR 30 and sell it for EUR 33, a profit margin of EUR 3 is realized, on which VAT is then due.
