View full history →About the Singapore gold market
Gold jewellery sold in Singapore is typically hallmarked by the Singapore Assay Office (SAO) with a distinctive lion's-head stamp, verifying purity such as 916 (22K) or 999 (24K).

Singapore has exempted Investment Precious Metals (IPM) from GST since October 2012, specifically to develop the country as a bullion trading hub -- qualifying gold must be at least 99.5% pure, tradable on the international bullion market, and carry an internationally-recognised quality mark.

Singapore's IPM exemption is narrowly defined -- gold jewellery, gift items and collectors' coins do not qualify even at high purity, and will carry Singapore's 9% GST -- so confirm a piece meets the IPM bar (mark, purity, tradability) before assuming it's tax-free.

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.
