About gold in Australia
Australia has no compulsory hallmarking law and no government assay offices — gold purity marks are self-applied by manufacturers, similar to the US system. Unlike most markets, Australia's most common standard is 9-karat (375, 37.5% gold), the legal minimum alongside the UK, and notably lower than the 14K/18K/22K standards that dominate most of the world.
Market notes for Australia
Australia's GST exemption for gold follows a purity test set by the Australian Taxation Office: bars and ingots must be at least 99.5% pure and coins at least 99.9% pure to qualify as investment-grade bullion and be sold GST-free. Gold that falls short of those thresholds, along with jewellery and scrap gold regardless of purity, is treated as an ordinary taxable supply.
Buying gold in Australia
Before comparing an Australian gold quote to KmalServico's live reference, check whether the product is investment-grade bullion (GST-free at 99.5%/99.9%+ purity) or jewellery (GST-inclusive regardless of karat) -- the two categories are taxed differently even when the underlying gold content is similar, so a price difference between them isn't necessarily a sign of a poor deal.
Tax and duty notes for Australia
Investment-grade gold bullion sold in Australia -- bars/ingots at 99.5%+ purity, coins at 99.9%+ purity -- is GST-free. Jewellery and gold below those purity thresholds is subject to the standard 10% GST. Capital gains tax applies when investment gold is sold at a profit, with a 50% CGT discount available to individuals who held the asset for more than 12 months.

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