Questions people ask
What are making charges?
The jeweller’s charge for crafting the piece, quoted per gram or as a share of the gold value. In Dubai’s Gold Souk they often run AED 10 to AED 50 a gram and are negotiable.
Is VAT charged on gold jewellery?
In the UAE, 5% VAT applies to jewellery; investment-grade bars and coins are zero-rated. Tourists can claim it back.
Do I get making charges back when I sell?
No. Buyers pay for the gold content only, often less a small margin.
