Why Dubai Gold is Cheaper Than India

Gold in Dubai is typically 5–10% cheaper than India for the same karat, even after including Dubai’s 5% jewelry VAT. This is because:

• UAE charges zero import duty on gold
• India charges 15% import duty (reduced from 25% in July 2024) + 3% GST = 18%+ total tax
• Dubai’s Gold Souk competition keeps dealer premiums very low

Example calculation (approximate):
For 10 grams of 22K gold:

• Dubai price: ~₹44,000–47,000 (including 5% VAT)
• India (Delhi/Mumbai): ~₹52,000–56,000 (including import duty + GST)
• Saving: ₹5,000–9,000 per 10 grams — even more if you claim VAT refund at Dubai airport
