Do I Pay Tax on Gold?
Currently one of the biggest reasons to choose gold is the fact HMRC currently regard the precious metal as VAT exempt, therefore you do not pay tax on the precious metal.
Silver is Taxable at 20%
Silver, on the other hand, is still subject to a 20% rate of VAT unless you buy on the special scheme. You can learn more about the special scheme by clicking here.
