Frequently Asked Questions
Is VAT applicable on gold bars and coins in Dubai?▼
No. Investment gold (bars and coins with 99%+ purity) is zero-rated for VAT in the UAE under Federal Decree-Law No. 8 of 2017. Only gold jewellery attracts 5% VAT. Always request a zero-rated VAT invoice when purchasing investment gold.
Where can I buy gold bars in Dubai?▼
Gold bars can be purchased from DMCC-licensed gold dealers in the Gold Souk (Deira), Emirates Gold, Kaloti Jewellery, and authorised refineries like Valcambi and PAMP. Ensure you receive a certificate of authenticity and assay card with every bar.
Which is better value — gold bars or gold coins in Dubai?▼
Gold bars generally offer better value than coins because they carry lower premiums over the spot price. The 1kg bar typically has the lowest premium (under 1%). Coins carry higher premiums (3–6%) due to their legal tender status and collector appeal, but they are more liquid and easier to sell in smaller quantities.
What is the premium on gold bars in Dubai?▼
Premiums in Dubai range from about 1–8% over the gold spot price depending on bar size. Smaller bars (1g–5g) carry higher premiums (5–8%) due to higher fabrication costs per gram. Larger bars (100g–1kg) have lower premiums (0.8–1.5%). All prices shown here are approximate indicative prices based on typical market premiums.
