New VAT rules for silver coins from 2025

From 1 January 2025, 21% VAT will be levied on new silver coins and coin bars in the Netherlands. This will make newly minted silver coins significantly more expensive for investors in physical silver. However, pre-owned silver coins and coin bars purchased before 2025 still fall under the old margin scheme, making these coins a lot more attractive fiscally when it comes to an investment in physical silver.

Due to the new regulation, silver pre-owned coins, silver pre-owned coin bars and Dutch silver coinage, such as old guilder and national coins, are an even more attractive choice.

The Silver Mountain has a large stock of silver coins purchased in 2024, you can still purchase these without the 21% VAT that will apply from 2025. Silver coins purchased in 2025 will fall under the new VAT regime and will no longer offer this benefit.

We also offer the possibility of purchasing VAT-free silver in combination with storage.
