<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 1810770, member: 39&quot;]Once again, not &quot;silver bullion&quot; in general. The end of the reduced rate affects coins, silver or copper or Cu-Ni or ... Silver medals and bars have had the 19% rate anyway.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are hundreds of exceptions and exemptions when it comes to VAT rates, and what level is applied to which product or service in what member state. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; I already posted a link to the Commission&#039;s VAT page; you can also go through this list: <a href="http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/resources/documents/taxation/vat/how_vat_works/rates/vat_rates_en.pdf" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/resources/documents/taxation/vat/how_vat_works/rates/vat_rates_en.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/resources/documents/taxation/vat/how_vat_works/rates/vat_rates_en.pdf</a>&nbsp; For example, four years ago the VAT rate for hotel stays went down from 19 to 7 percent in DE. Guess that, if Germany had been the only member state that did this, others would have complained about &quot;unfair advantages&quot;. But since similarly low rates are used elsewhere too ...</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>If all you care about is silver bullion coins, sure. As a collector of brass coins, I might say it is an increase regarding brass coins. And if you collected silver bars or medals for some reason, you would find that the tax and the price are not affected.</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
