View full history →About the Peru gold market
Peruvian jewellery gold is traditionally worked at 18-karat purity, prized for both fineness and centuries-old artisanal craftsmanship tracing back to pre-Columbian Inca goldsmithing traditions.

Peru's mining sector paid roughly US$5.83 billion in fiscal revenue in the first half of 2026 alone, an 80% increase year-on-year, reflecting a general sales tax (IGV) of 18% (comprising a 16% base rate plus a 2% Municipal Promotion Tax) that does not apply when minerals are sold for export.

Peru's tax framework documented here concerns the mining/export side of the gold supply chain rather than retail jewellery specifically -- for a retail purchase, ask the seller directly about applicable IGV, since no jewellery-specific figure was confirmed in available sources.

Peru's IGV (general sales tax) is 18%, made up of a 16% base rate plus a 2% Municipal Promotion Tax, and does not apply when minerals are sold for export. No jewellery-specific IGV rate or exemption was found in available sources; the general 18% rate would apply to a domestic retail sale absent a documented carve-out.

Methodology
How we calculate the price
- We fetch the international spot gold price (XAU/USD) live from gold-api.com + xaus.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.
