<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 3247753, member: 39&quot;]That 19% tax is simply the regular VAT (sort of sales tax; USt in Germany) but the VAT rates vary (within a certain bandwidth) depending on the member state. In DE coins used to have the reduced USt rate of 7% - not any more. In Poland the regular VAT (PTU) rate is 23% but they also have reduced and zero rates. Not sure what applies to coins there. Investment gold, including coins, is usually tax exempt in the EU.</p><p><br /></p><p>Side note: In the EU and most other European countries, the VAT is - like all other components that influence the price - built into the price tag for consumers. So if you see €10 or 40 zł on a shelf, that is what you pay.</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
