I'm not a tax expert of any sort but I don't think you are correct in saying that gold is exempt from CGT but silver is not. 

According to the Royal Mint - Bullion & Capital Gains Tax (CGT) | The Royal Mint - they are both treated the same.  The difference in CGT laibility depends not on which metal they are made of but whether they in the form of coins that are legal tender in the UK, or whether they are bullion held in other forms (gold/silver bars etc).  If they are gold or silver coins produced by the Royal Mint, and therefore technically legal tender in the UK, they are CGT exempt. But gold or silver held in any other form is liable to CGT, and CGT must be paid at the point of sale.

Is your silver held as legal tender coins, or is it subject to CGT?

As for VAT, not something I know much about, but surely only someone who is a trader registered with HMRC for VAT can add VAT to the price of what they sell? Are you a trader registered fo VAT?  If not I wouldn't have thought you had the option of adding VAT do you?
