The GST rate for all goods is linked to HSN code or Harmonised System Nomenclature, a system of classification for goods adopted by over 200 countries internationally. In this article, we look at the GST rate for Gold and jewellery along with the applicable HSN code.GST Rate for Gold
The GST rate for gold, gold jewellery, precious stones and precious metals is 3%. While purchasing gold jewellery or other gold items, the end consumer will have to pay 3% of the taxable value mentioned on the invoice. Since most gold sold in India is through offline mode, only SGST and CGST would be applicable to the purchase. If a gold purchase is made through an online platform and the supplier is based out of a different state, then IGST would be applicable. In addition to the GST, gold will attract customs duty of 10% and a gold making charges of 5%. Customs duty of 10% was levied prior to the implementation of GST. However, the GST on gold making charges has been introduced at 5% recently. Hence, the cost of gold and gold jewellery will be marginally higher in the GST era.
