Compare the premium first
The premium is the dealer sell price above the spot value of the metal. Compare this column first, then check the tax treatment.
Premiums move daily. Shipping, insurance and import rules are not included in the table. See physical gold premiums by country for more on the comparison.
How tax changes the cost
Investment gold is tax-free in the EU, the UK, Singapore, Hong Kong and Australia. Japan taxes gold at full consumption tax rates. India taxes gold heavily through import duty.
