Buying Gold in Dubai: Duty and Customs Context
Dubai remains a primary destination for international buyers, particularly tourists from South Asia, owing to strict quality certification standards enforced by local authorities. While retail purchases in the UAE are subject to a standard 5% Value Added Tax (VAT), tourists can claim a VAT refund at designated exit points. However, Indian travellers returning home are advised to keep in mind duty-free allowance limits set by the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) when carrying physical gold items back to India.
