The margin scheme for silver coins is a special VAT arrangement applicable to silver coins. Under this scheme, VAT is calculated based on the dealer's profit margin rather than the full selling price of the coins. This means the dealer pays VAT only on the difference between the purchase price and the selling price, which is advantageous for both the dealer and the buyer.
The price you see for silver coins is the price you pay. However, for silver bars, an additional 21% VAT applies if purchased by a private individual, on top of the displayed price.
