Brazil's gold tax structure layers several distinct levies (IOF, IPI, and standard sales taxes) rather than one simple VAT-equivalent rate, so a retail gold or jewellery price in Brazil can be harder to decompose than in a single-VAT market -- ask for an itemised receipt before assuming the full price reflects only…

Methodology
How we calculate the price
- We fetch the international spot gold price (XAU/USD) live from xaus.com + gold-api.com, with automatic failover between providers.
- The spot rate is converted into the local currency using live exchange rates from exchangerate-api.com, then scaled by purity (24K, 22K, 18K…) and by weight (gram, tola, ounce, kilogram, baht).
- The result is the pure spot value. Retail counters may add dealer premium, tax and making charges — the number here is the underlying benchmark.
