I see... So they tax coin purchases, but not bars at this time. But the fear is that bars and rounds will be taxed when sold, and the great price increases will mean huge taxes. It's a Catch 22 of sorts, pay me now or pay me later? lol
I'd mostly do coins then, bite the bullet now while it's CHEAP. VAT is what, 20%? I'd guess Silver is 15GBP per Troy Ounce, plus VAT for a total of 18GBP? I bought most of my Silver Stack at $20 U$D total cost, and feel like it's a bargain! Pretty close when you convert U$D to GBP I believe.
