Silver Bar 1 kg
Description
The 1 kilogram silver bar is the most popular format for serious physical silver investment. It contains 32.15 troy ounces of silver and offers the best premium-to-weight ratio in the silver market (excluding larger 5 or 15 kg bars). The main drawback is VAT or sales tax, which significantly increases the entry cost in many countries (especially in the EU and UK). Many investors buy from dealers in tax-advantaged jurisdictions or use bonded storage to optimize taxation.
Key highlights
- Standard silver investment format — better premium-to-weight ratio than coins
- 32.15 troy ounces per bar — much more efficient than buying coin by coin
- Manufactured by LBMA refineries with assay certificate
- VAT is the main disadvantage vs. gold (which is exempt)
- Consider tax-efficient storage options available in your jurisdiction
