The Gold Souk or the open gold market of Dubai attracts buyers from all around the world throughout the year. Tax-free purchases of the precious yellow metal and quality assurance of the product one is buying pull customers to come to the UAE and buy gold from here for a more profitable deal than their home country can provide.
The “City of Gold” has low prices not only because the UAE government makes these purchases tax-exempt, but also because the market follows international pricing and allows for a big margin of negotiation on making charges. For Indian buyers, while a gram of 24-carat gold will cost Rs 5,553 in their home country, it will cost buyers considerably lesser Rs 5,013.21 in Dubai. The highly-monitored, well-organised and well-regulated markets where inspections by government authorities to ensure good product quality is a cherry on top of the cake for many buyers trying to avoid getting duped into buying lower-quality gold.
However, it is important to remember that while the purchase of gold in Dubai is tax-free, bringing the same into India is not. The Government of India levies hefty charges on importing gold into the country beyond a certain limit. It is crucial to read all regulations regarding the same before investing money in the greenback-price bullion in Dubai.
