    Im moving back to the UK in September and I have 5kg and 10 oz of Silver.

    Most people know that taking back silver to the UK will incur a fee VAT, import tax whatever.

    just wanted to know people point of view....

    Do I keep the silver pay the tax?

    Do I sell it now and swap it for gold?( Bought it at $30 AUD)

    Or do I keep it and swap it before I leave in september?

    Thanks

    With the current volatility in PMs if you sell silver you need to buy gold and not sit on fiat. If it was my situation I would definitely bring gold and not silver but as a UK taxpayer we definitely want your 20% of silver flesh so bring your silver - every little helps support our generous state benefit system.

    Swap it and take back the Au. Why pay more tax.
    See Steve.
