<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 1807742, member: 39&quot;]Since I am in DE, this is not anything that I am happy about - then again, that is not a &quot;silver tax&quot; as that article insinuates. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> The decision, which was indeed made in mid-June, simply does away with the special conditions for silver coins. The federal government had planned to change that much earlier:</p><p><br /></p><p>I first read articles about such plans in October 2002 (!), and in 2010 the Federal Audit Office (Bundesrechnungshof) complained about the &quot;reduced rates jungle&quot;. If you buy a silver bar or a silver medal, you currently have a 19% tax rate - only for silver coins it is 7%. As from 1 January, it will be 19% for coins, medals and bars.</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
