Gerrards Bullion - Your guide to investing in gold and silver

18 Gerrards Bullion offers investors the option to buy silver VAT free by storing their bullion in secure vaults located in Switzerland. This VAT-free silver storage option presents a cost-effective and tax-efficient way to invest in physical silver, leveraging Switzerland’s status as a trusted and stable location for bullion storage. What Gerrards Bullion offers • VAT-Free Silver Purchase and Storage: Silver bars, including 1 kilo bars made of .999 fine silver, can be purchased with no Value Added Tax (VAT) when stored in bonded vaults in Switzerland. The silver remains physically stored there, meaning VAT is waived under these conditions. • Secure and Insured Storage: The silver bullion bought through Gerrards Bullion is stored in highly secure, fully insured vaults run by Brinks, a global leader in secure logistics and the safe management of precious metals, ensuring investor peace of mind through independent audits and high standards of security. • Flexibility with Your Holding: Investors retain full ownership of their silver bullion, which is legally theirs and stored in allocated accounts. They have the option to sell their silver back to Gerrards Bullion or request physical delivery at any time. However, VAT would apply only if delivery is requested back to the UK, not while the silver remains in storage. • Capital Gains Tax Advantages: Silver Britannia coins stored this way are not only VAT exempt but are also exempt from Capital Gains Tax in the UK, offering a unique dual tax benefit for investors making sizable silver purchases. • Long-Term Investment Benefits: Holding VAT-free silver offshore provides a way for investors to diversify and reduce exposure to the UK banking system. Switzerland’s strong reputation for safeguarding property rights adds another layer of security and trust. Click here for further details.
