Grow your investment
Tax Free Silver allows you to invest in and grow your physical silver portfolio without paying any tax on your gains.
Under certain circumstances, people in the UK are required to pay VAT on the purchase of physical silver. However, The Pure Gold Company is able to supply physical silver, free from VAT and Capital Gains Tax.
A tax efficient investment?
VAT free silver
The treatment of silver for tax purposes is somewhat different to gold, but it is still possible to buy and sell silver tax and VAT free within certain parameters. Investment grade gold has been VAT exempt since 2000 but if you store or get delivery of silver in the EU it becomes liable for VAT, which in the UK is 20%. You can however choose to buy silver and have it stored in a secure, allocated vault outside the EU thereby bypassing the VAT requirement.
Capital Gains Tax free silver
Certain types of gold and silver coins are treated as legal tender and therefore not subject to capital gains tax. The silver Britannia is free from CGT for UK citizens and any amount can be bought and sold without incurring the tax, depending on individual circumstances. There is CGT to pay on gains made from other forms of silver including silver bars.
